The GoNorth program is a series of scientific expeditions exploring the Arctic Ocean, conducted annually from 2022 to 2024. GoNorth 2022 focused on the area north of Svalbard and the Nansen Basin and conducted seismic surveys, performed sediment and sea ice coring and other measurements including biological and oceanographic work. GoNorth 2023 explored the Gakkel Ridge, an ultra-slow spreading mid-ocean ridge in collaboration with the German icebreaker RV Polarstern. New hydrothermal field was discovered in the Lena Trough using a remotely operated vehicle. GoNorth 2024 covered areas near Svalbard, northern Greenland, and the Fram Strait conducted sediment coring, water sampling, seafloor bathymetry mapping in previously unexplored parts of Amundsen and seismic survey in the Lena Trough rift and across a transform boundary west of Spitsbergen. Throughout the program, GoNorth emphasized multidisciplinary research, international collaboration, and education. The expeditions results contribute to our understanding of the Arctic Ocean's geology, biology, and oceanography.
