Abstract
DURING marine biological work in the Denmark Strait with the Danish Research Ship Dana in August 1933, it was possible to proceed quite close to the coast of East Greenland south of Angmagssalik; practically no ice was met with during this year. For the purpose of the biological work on the drift of cod larvæ from Iceland to Greenland with the west-going branch of the Irminger Current, four sections were made from the coast out to deep water. During these sections, as also on the whole cruise, the echo sounding apparatus was constantly used and the soundings revealed—so far as it was possible to carry out the investigations during the time available—that a submarine ridge seems to follow the East FIG. 1. Course of the Dana off the south-east coast of Greenland. Greenland coast, at any rate from about Lat. 64° N. to Cape Farewell (lat. 60° N.).
