Amundsen Basin

The Amundsen Basin, with depths up to 4.4 km (2.7 mi), is the deepest abyssal plain in the Arctic Ocean. The Amundsen Basin is embraced by the Lomonosov Ridge (from 81°N 140°E / 81°N 140°E to 80°N 40°W / 80°N 40°W) and the Gakkel Ridge (from 81°N 120°E / 81°N 120°E to 85°N 10°E / 85°N 10°E). It is named after the polar researcher Roald Amundsen. Together with the Nansen Basin, the Amundsen Basin is often summarized as Eurasian Basin.
