Josip Riđanović

Abstract

The most recent studies of the Submarine relief in the Arctic Ocean have contribured to the knowledge of the geographical structure of polar seas in the Nothern Hemisphere. The deepest point (Molloy Deep, 5608 m) has been measured and inspected. Two new macrogeostructures have been established (Nansen-Gakkel Ridge and the Alpha-Mendelyev Ridges), four great basins (Makarov, Amundsen, Nansen, and Canada Basin) and three smaller plateaus (Chukchi, Arlis, Yermak).
