Little is known of deep-sea channels and their role as an effective carbon sink. How do scientists approach the deep sea, and which are their strategies to generate  knowledge? To answer these questions, my research focuses on knowledge production processes along the Northwest Atlantic Mid-Ocean Channel (NAMOC)  during a research expedition in the Labrador Sea. The research is conceptually guided by approaches of science and technology studies and new materialism.  Methodologically, the study employs multi-sited ethnography and uses multi-modal materials including partici- pant observation and semi-structured interviews with representatives of the research vessel’s crew and scientists. The findings shed light on the usually unseen practices of science-making. Sensory landscapes as  well as experiential knowledge were identified as two modes of following, researching, and knowing the NAMOC.
