Species:
Detailed image of the CTD rosette on Oden. The CTD is an electronic instrument commonly used by oceanographers to continuously record salinity (by measuring conductivity), temperature, and depth (by measuring pressure) as the instrument is lowered from the ship.

Species:
Taking a kasten core from the back deck of Oden in the Amundsen Sea. The kasten core is a devise to sample sediment from the seafloor. It is lowered to bottom with a cable and the weight on top of the core pushes the corer into the bottom.

Species:
Swedish Ice Breaker Oden docking in McMurdo Station, Antarctica. The Oden is one of the most powerful, non-nuclear icebreakers. It has a specific shaped bow that allows it to break ice and manuver in dense ice cover. The Oden operates mostly in the Arctic and the Baltic Sea but also works sometimes in the Antarctic, e.g. to open a channel to the U.S. research station McMurdo.

Species:
Group of scientist taking an ice core on the sea ice in the Amundsen Sea to study its thickness and properties. Analysis of the sea ice provides information about age, formation process and helps to calibrate satellite data that allow monitoring of sea ice conditions from space.

Species:
Autonomous underwater vehicle Autosub returning from its mission underneath the Pine Island Ice Shelf in the Amundsen Sea, Antarctica during expedition NBP0901. The Autosub measures water properties such as salinity, temperature, and oxygene content as well as the water depth below and the distance to the ice above it. It allows collecting data where ships cannot go.
