The Expedition

The oceans cover over 70% of the Earth’s surface and are central to life on the planet. Yet much of the deep ocean remains unexplored. Galathea 4 aims to fill these knowledge gaps, providing insights that are essential for sustainable management of marine resources, climate mitigation, and environmental protection.

Expedition Activities

  • An advanced research vessel equipped with laboratories and remote-operated vehicles (ROVs).

  • Collecting samples and conducting in-situ measurements across multiple ocean basins.

  • Collaborating with international research institutes and universities.

  • Engaging the public and media through educational outreach and real-time updates.
