Abstract :
In March and April 2010, an ISE Explorer Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) was deployed to Canada´s high Arctic. The under-ice bathymetric surveys conducted on this deployment support Canada´s submission to establish the outer limits of its continental shelf under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).
