Objective The ANTARES 1 cruise is the first cruise in the ANTARES programme whose objective is to study biogeochemical cycles in the Southern Indian Ocean. This cruise mainly focused on biological and chemical studies of surface sediments in order to define the ways the sedimentary message is preserved and the rates of remineralization affecting particles of biogenic origin before they are permanently buried. It also aimed to define the study zones in which lines of sediment traps will be placed. The final aspect concerned studying water circulation in the region studied from 58 E of the Crozet Islands towards the continent of Antarctica.
