Description Not Available
The Indian Ocean covering an area of about 28,000,000 square miles constitutes
more than 14 % of the earth's surface. Except for the general features of its bottom
topography, circulation, water masses and the distribution of its biota, little is known.
More than half of this region has had no biological sampling and even in the areas
sampled data are only on 1 to 4 observations per 100,000 square miles. As part of
the IGY programme to explore the Indian Ocean, the Soviet Union agreed to send
an expedition and on October 6, 1959, the Flagship of the Soviet Scientific Research
Fleet Vitiaz left Vladivostock on her 31st cruise since commissioning as a research
vessel and her first to the Indian Ocean.
