General Description and Scientific Significance<\/b><\/p>

The FIP Seamounts Expedition, conducted in September 2015 aboard the Chilean research vessel Abate Molina, was part of the FIP 2014-04-2 project, \"Phase II: Oceanographic Survey to Establish the Baseline for Juan Fern\u00e1ndez Seamounts 5 (JF5), Juan Fern\u00e1ndez Seamount 6 (JF6), and O'Higgins Seamount.\" The expedition aimed to characterize the oceanographic, physical, chemical, and biological conditions of these seamounts, generating a comprehensive baseline to better understand the structure and functioning of these ecosystems in the Southeastern Pacific Ocean.\nTo achieve this objective, the expedition carried out hydrographic measurements, biological sampling, and analyses of biogeochemical and oceanographic variables, contributing to the scientific understanding of vulnerable, highly biodiverse marine ecosystems. Participation by the Millennium Institute of Oceanography (IMO) strengthened the Institute's capabilities in open-ocean research and established its first scientific collaborations in large-scale multidisciplinary oceanographic expeditions.<\/span><\/p>
