Arctic Basin

The Arctic Basin (also North Polar Basin) is an oceanic basin in the Arctic Ocean, consisting of two main parts separated by the Lomonosov Ridge, a mid-ocean ridge between north Greenland and the New Siberian Islands.

It is bordered by the continental shelves of Eurasia and North America.

[1][2] Fridtjof Nansen and Otto Sverdrup sailed the basin in the Fram from 1893 to 1896.

Between 1922 and 1924, Roald Amundsen followed in the Maud.
