We describe the properties and displacement of the northernmost Meddy that has ever been studied. This Meddy was found to the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula in April 1997. Its hydrological properties suggest that it was born offshore Galicia, the northwestern corner of Spain. It was tracked in real-time for more than one year using recent types of deep drogued buoys and Lagrangian floats, and remained quasi-stationary for an unusually long period of 11 months around 45 ¿N, 12 ¿W. ¿ 1999 American Geophysical Union
