Grab photos from CEAMARC voyage, 2007-2008

Created 12/02/2026

Updated 12/02/2026

Seabed samples were collected from 52 sites across the George V continental shelf and slope during voyage 3 on the Aurora Australis, December 2007 - January 2008. Most samples were collected with a box corer (BC), though more gravelly sediments required a Smith-McIntyre (GRSM) or Van-Veen grab (GRVV) as indicated by the station name. Sediments were photographed on deck immediately following collection. This dataset contains these photos, labelled according to the station number, sample type and sample number at that site.
