Noosfera is a polar supply and research ship operated by the National Antarctic Scientific Center of Ukraine. Until 2021, she was operated by the British Antarctic Survey and named RRS James Clark Ross.

History

British Antarctic Survey

RRS James Clark Ross is named after the British explorer James Clark Ross.[5] She replaced the RRS John Biscoe in 1991.

In March 2018, RRS James Clark Ross was due to sample the marine life around the world's biggest iceberg, A-68, but was unable to reach the site due to sea ice conditions.[6]

After 30 years service, James Clark Ross was sold to the National Antarctic Scientific Center of Ukraine, in August 2021.[7]
