The research vessel Laura Bassi concludes its scientific campaign

The Italian research vessel Laura Bassi has completed the research mission that took it to Antarctica for two months to support research activities on the physical and biogeochemical dynamics of certain areas of the continent. The return to the port of Lyttelton in New Zealand marked the end of the 39th scientific expedition to Antarctica, funded by the Ministry of University and Research (MUR) as part of the National Antarctic Research Programme (PNRA) and managed by the National Research Council (Cnr) for the scientific coordination, by ENEA for the planning and logistical organisation of the activities at the Antarctic bases and by the National Institute of Oceanography and Experimental Geophysics – OGS for the technical and scientific management of the icebreaker Laura Bassi.
