(CP) — Scientists on board the Hudson will get their first chance to chart submerged ice mounds or “pingoes” in the Beaufort Sea, as the Canadian scientific ship embarks on a 10-mont expedition around North America. surveying in the Beaufort: Sea with regard to the problem of getting supertankers in five or six years from the Beaufort Sea oil fields through the Nor- thwest Passage to markets to the east,” Alan Longhurst, a scientiat on the ship, sald Thursday. _ Longhurst, director-general of ocean scientific surveys at the Bedford Institute of Oceanography here, said scientists expect 10 take four years to chart the area. The expedition is important because if oll foundin Canadian north is to reach southern markets, it will either have to be piped through the Northwest Territories or shipped acroes the Northwest Passage to eastern ports. ©.” . In order for large tankers to reach the Northwest Passage, they will have to pass through a 240 Kilometre long, eight-kilometre wide corridor where countless' pingoes are found. Tankers expected to be put in use in the north — Tequirea draught of about 20 metres. Pingoes, often 50 metres high and several hundred metres across at the base, are usually found about 15 metres below water level. : They were first discovered by the large ice- ,, breaking tanker Manhattan, during its east-towest voyage through the Northwest Passage, Longhurst, said the Manhattan thumped the pingoes con- stantly. Scientists hope to get about one-third of the area surveyed this summer. - . “The Hudson will be charting a five-mile wide corridor initially from the region which is expected to start to produce oil in the direction of the Prince of Wales Strait,” he said. : “These pingoes have to absolutely charted before these tankers can move. There are a lot of - navigational problems through the rest of the Northwest Passage that still have to be solved but non of them as difficult as that.” ° The Hudson was the first ship to circumnavigate ~ North and South America in one voyage. In 1970, she left Halifax, salled around Cape Horn in South America, up the west coast of Central America to Vancouver and then through the Northwest Passage to the Atlantic Ocean before returning to Halifax. After leaving its berth at the Bedford Institute of Oceanography, the Hudson will sail for Costa Rica, where scientists will study marine plankton life for three to four weeks. os _ From there it will sail through the Panama Canal and then work off the west coast of Panama, for three weeks. f The ship will then sail to Vietoria where a new : scientific crew will board and head north along the British Columbia coast fo study chemical and physical. oceanography. The Hudson will return to Victoria for another crew change before working off Vancouver. The Herald welcomes its readers comments.
