Observation of manganese deposits in the Atlantic Ocean in 1963 during R/V Chain Cruise 36

Caryn seamount (36° 42'N, 68° 02'W) was discovered in 1948 during Caryn cruise 1. During the summer of 1963 the Chain (cruise 36) occupied a dredge station on Caryn seamount. Caryn seamount (36° 42'N, 68° 02'W) was discovered in 1948 during Caryn cruise 1. During the summer of 1963 the Chain (cruise 36) occupied a dredge station on Caryn seamount. Manganese nodules, semiconsolidated mud, altered vesicular volcanics, and several glacial erratics were obtained from the western slope of the seamount between depths of about 3950 and 4300 m. The 1963 dredge haul by Chain, the first to obtain volcanic rocks, confirms the volcanic origin of the seamount. Previously, only manganese nodules had been dredged from Caryn, during cruise 21 of Chain.

卡林海山（Caryn Seamount，坐标：36°42′N，68°02′W）于1948年在卡林1号航次（Caryn Cruise 1）中被发现。1963年夏季，查因号考察船（Chain）执行36号航次期间，在卡林海山布设了一处挖泥采样站位。

科研人员在该海山西侧水深3950米至4300米的斜坡区域，采获了锰结核、半固结泥质沉积物、蚀变气孔状火山岩以及数块冰川漂砾。1963年查因号考察船的挖泥采样作业首次采获火山岩，证实了该海山的火山成因。此前，仅在查因号21号航次期间，从卡林海山采获过锰结核。
