Some examples of the waves encountered in the North Atlantic by our team:
The Canadian Ambassador to Ireland, Kevin Vickers, met the R/V Celtic Explorer in Galway, Ireland and met with the scientists and crew onboard, in particular, the groups from Ireland and Canada. He was also presented with a souvenir bottle of water from the deepest station sampled during the cruise (> 4000 m depth)
