This project will document the diversity, distribution and relative abundance of pinnipeds, cetaceans, seabirds, and penguins using systematic distance sampling methods during the transit of the Swedish icebreaker ODEN from South American along the seasonal sea ice edge of the Southern Ocean to McMurdo station in mid- to late December 2006. The project will correlate the ecological data for the air-breathing marine vertebrate fauna with biological and physical oceanographic data collected by other ship-based research projects, and with remotely-sensed data on geostrophic currents, sea ice characteristics, sea level height, sea-surface temperature and chlorophyll concentration. The data collected during this expedition will also be compared with regional biological and oceanographic data available from previous studies conducted along the Antarctic Peninsula and recent research expeditions to various areas in the Bellingshausen, Amundsen, and Ross Seas.

该项目将在2006年12月中下旬瑞典破冰船“奥登”号从南美洲沿南大洋季节性海冰边缘过境至麦克默多站期间，利用系统的距离抽样方法记录鳍足类、鲸类、海鸟和企鹅的多样性、分布和相对丰度。该项目将把呼吸空气的海洋脊椎动物的生态数据与其他船舶研究项目收集的生物和物理海洋学数据以及地转流、海冰特征、海平面高度、海面温度和叶绿素浓度的遥感数据相关联。在这次考察中收集的数据还将与以前在南极半岛进行的研究以及最近对别灵豪森、阿蒙森和罗斯海不同地区进行的研究所获得的区域生物和海洋学数据进行比较。
