After my return from my first voyage, namely, the Scottish Antarctic Expedition of 1892–93, for which I was chosen as naturalist, I had the advantage of coming closely in touch with Mr J. Y. Buchanan, who then trained me in his Edinburgh laboratory in the use of his hydrometer. During the past twenty years I have been in constant touch with him regarding problems relating to the physics of the ocean. As a consequence, before my departure for a voyage to, and wintering in, Franz Josef Land during 1896–97, I was well trained in the use of his hydrometer, and obtained during that expedition observations of considerable interest. I also carried out all the hydrometer work on board the Prince of Monaco's yacht Princess Alice during his Arctic voyage of 1898, under the direction of Mr J. Y. Buchanan, who was also on board during that cruise, and also during the Prince of Monaco's second Arctic cruise during 1899, when I was solely responsible for that work. Consequently, I was thoroughly familiar with hydrometer work when I set sail in the Scotia.

<p>Contamination of the World Ocean by synthetic non-biodegradable material has become a high profile environmental concern. Standardized sampling methods and methods of plastic identification should be developed so that results can be fed into international monitoring strategies to map plastic distribution worldwide. Here we present results of studies carried out on a transect between Tromsø and Svalbard and from Montevideo to Antarctica performed with the same sampling procedure onboard Norwegian and Russian ships in 08.2019 and 01.2020 respectively. Microplastic sampling<strong> </strong>was carried out using a filtering system. Water passed through the system and SPM was collected on a metal mesh screens. All potential plastic particles and fibers were checked for polymeric identification using a PerkinElmer Spotlight ATR-FTIR. The level of confirmed microplastics ranged from 0 to 1.9 items/m<sup>3 </sup>(0.7 items/m<sup>3 </sup>in average) on a transect Tromsø-Svalbard and from 0 to 2.5 items/m<sup>3 </sup>(0.4 items/m<sup>3 </sup>in average) on Montevideo-Antarctica transect. Both data sets were represented by 40% of fragments and 60% of fibers. Polyester was found as the main polymer type for both transects, 46% of microplastics. Other found polymer types were different in the North and South Atlantic Ocean waters. Nylon (polyamide) was the next most common polymer type in South Atlantic which was not found in Northern part. Difference was also observed in higher number of stations without any microplastics in South Atlantic.</p><p>This work was partly funded by the Norwegian Ministry of Climate and Environment project RUS-19/0001 “Establish regional capacity to measure and model the distribution and input of microplastics to the Barents Sea from rivers and currents (ESCIMO)” and the Russian Foundation for Basic Research, research projects 19-55-80004.</p>

I am sure that the greatest honour that can befall an after-dinner speaker is to propose the toast to the Royal Society and I simply couldn’t imagine why the Royal Society chose a mere Admiral to propose the toast. Then I got hold o f their history and I found out how much they depended on Admirals in the past. In the last two hundred years, forty-six o f the most distinguished Fellows of the Royal Society have been Admirals. The only Fellow of the Royal Society about whom a film has been made twice, was in fact a young Captain who also became an Admiral and a Fellow of the Royal Society. One was made before the war and there’s one in London now; you can see it in glorious technicolour and cinemascope. It’s about a man called William Bligh who had some trouble on the Bounty. But it wasn’t only Admirals who became Fellows of the Royal Society, because in those days there were also Captains. Edmund Halley, Astronomer Royal, commanded one of His Majesty’s Ships in 1698, with orders to traverse the North and South Atlantic Oceans in order to survey compass directions.
