Summary[edit]

Description

Day Five in Norway ... back on dry land, in Tromsø.

After visiting the Arctic Cathedral, we walked back over the bridge and spent the afternoon exploring the rest of the city.

From Wikipedia - (translated by Google) FF 'G.O. Sars' is a Norwegian research vessel, owned by the Institute of Marine Research in Bergen. The vessel is the third in the series with the same name, named after marine biologist Georg Ossian Sars.

FF 'G.O. Sars' was built in 2003. It is 77 meters long and 4067 gross tons. The vessel was designed by Skipsteknisk A / S in Aalesund and built by special shipyard Flekkefjord Slipp & Machine Factory at a cost of 400 million. It has a diesel-electric motor 8100 kW. The boat makes only 1/100 as much noise as common research, in order to not disturb the measuring instruments. Bergen Skipsrevyen named it the Ship of the Year in 2003.

FF 'G.O. SARS' is specially equipped for cruises in research on fish stocks, environmental surveys and acoustic check formulas. The ship has six winches for lowering until 6000 meter cables in deep water, measuring and sampling depths. One of the winches are equipped with fiber optic cable that can transmit large amounts of data from the depths to the surface. Sounder can chart fish in all depths and seabed up to 150 meters into the seabed crust. Also, there may be up to 25 meters deep core samples from the seabed. The boat can also draw larger trawlers and other special vessels, as well as towing sonar and other acoustic devices.

The robot Argus Abyss is an ROV which runs to 5000 meters depth, while Aglantha only runs to 2000 meters.

It participated in summer 2004 at the Mar-Eco that went along Mid-Atlantic Ridge between Iceland and the Azores, where they together with longline fishing boat M / S 'Loran' so out underwater hotspots (volcanoes).

In 2007 it took part in the project Antarctic Krill and Ecosystem Studies (AES), an expedition to the Southern Ocean.
