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.
