Records supplied by Jason Hall-Spencer and collate by DASSH as part of the 'Dredging the Depths' project. The Michael Sars Expedition was a follow up of the Challenger expedition, only in a smaller capacity. It was a four-month cruise in the Atlantic Ocean in the spring and summer of 1910, exploring the North Atlantic south to Africa with the most modern ocean research vessel of the time, equipped for deep sea studies. The expedition was jointly headed by the Norwegian scientist Johan Hjort together with the British oceanographer John Murray, who contributed with private funds. Murray had participated on the Challenger and had just finished the editing the multi-volume work on the scientific findings. He saw the Atlantic Ocean Expedition as an opportunity to pick up the threads after Challenger. The cruise results were registered and catalogued by Bergen Museum, and is today one of the most valuable scientific collections at the Museum.
