The Carlsberg Fjord
On the east coast of Greenland, the Carlsberg Fjord carves its way into the icy mountains. The fjord was discovered during the 1900 Carlsberg Foundation expedition to Greenland, led by Georg Carl Amdrup, which charted this almost unknown coastline for the first time.
The Carlsberg Ridge
Deep down in the Indian Ocean, between the Seychelles and the Maldives, the Carlsberg Ridge marks the boundary of the Indian and African tectonic plates. The ridge is around 3,300 metres below sea level and rises 2,100 metres above the seafloor. It was discovered during a 1928-30 round-the-world oceanographical expedition, led by Danish scientist Ernst Johannes Schmidt and sponsored by the Carlsberg Foundation.
Carlsberg Stonecress
More recently, a sponsored botanical expedition to Greece in 1979 identified a new species of stonecress - a flowering plant of the cabbage family. It was subsequently named Aethionema Carlsbergii.
