Arctic Seafloor

Thanks to Swedish Icebreaker R/V Oden.

First small vial of Arctic Seafloor sediment and first fired sample on textured porcelain clay

I needed to add a section to the map.

The Heezen-Tharpe ocean floor map didn’t go more northerly than about 73º and this sample was 81º north.  I added a white section above the map so my new sample could fit.

Humans pioneering, polar bears disrupted lives.
