  • Abstract
    This article presents an experimental dive to the ocean bottom under the North Pole ice dome using the Mir submersibles. The water depth at the real North Pole is estimated to be 4300 metres after analysing the Mir-1 and Mir-2 dive data. The ocean bottom at this unique point is described as a featureless flat muddy-brown sediment.
