"Сама находка потерянной "Терра Нова", одного из самых известных полярных судов, является выдающимся достижением, подтверждая успешность проверки продуктивности и эффективности нового научного оборудования исследовательского судна Falkor (Schmidt Ocean Institute's)" - сообщается на официальном сайте экспедиции.
- August 13, 2012—Last month, during routine functional performance testing of the mutibeam mapping echosounders on the Schmidt Ocean Institute’s flagship R/V Falkor, the team aboard—including researchers from the University of New Hampshire, Ifremer, and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution—discovered the S.S. Terra Nova, a whaler, sealer and polar exploration ship that sunk off the southern coast of Greenland in September, 1943, after being damaged by ice.

The discovery of the lost S.S. Terra Nova, one of the most famous polar exploration vessels, was an exciting achievement—in addition to serving to successfully verify the performance and operational condition of the Schmidt Ocean Institute's R/V Falkor multibeam echo sounders. The discovery was made possible thanks to the collaborative and exhaustive efforts of all those onboard. Schmidt Ocean Institute offers its profound thanks to the sonar experts and scientific representatives from the University of New Hampshire, Ifremer, and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution for their excellent support throughout this cruise.
