The Amundsen Basin, with depths up to 4.4 km, is the deepest abyssal plain in the Arctic Ocean. The Amundsen Basin is embraced by the Lomonosov Ridge (from 81°N 140°E / 81°N 140°E to 80°N 40°W / 80°N 40°W) and the Gakkel Ridge (from 81°N 120°E / 81°N 120°E to 85°N 10°E / 85°N 10°E). It is named after the polar researcher Roald Amundsen. Together with the Nansen Basin, the Amundsen Basin is often summarized as Eurasian Basin.
