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. Figure by P. Pérez-Brunius.
