| Typical west-bound and east-bound tracks of the MV
Nivi Ituk are indicated by dots across the subpolar North Atlantic.
The MV Nuva Artica will follow a similar track. The arrows
indicate today's view of the probable pathways of warm water flow
in the region. Also shown are the 200m, 1,000m, and 3,000m isobaths.
