Purpose
Abstract The main aim of the expedition M85/3 was to sample the icelandic marine fauna from the shelf down the slope to the deep-sea basins surrounding Iceland. Collecting specimens for genetic analyses and sampling regions not represented in the BIOICE dataset was most important. Though multibeam data and CTD were recorded. Multibeam data was not the main focus of the cruise and no further information have been provided by the responsible party.
