History


Established by King Frederik IX, this medal was awarded to recognize individuals who assisted in creating, and participated, in the Scientific Danish Deep Sea Expedition between September 1, 1950 and July 17, 1952. Individuals who did not participate in the expedition were eligible to receive this award if they supported it in exceptional ways.

The commander of the ship and the scientific leader, who previously received the silver class Medal of Merit with clasp, received a new clasp reading "GALATHEAEKSPEDITIONEN 1950-52".
