Measurements of dissolved helium and neon were made on seawater samples collected at the Lomonosov Ridge Experiment site (LOREX, 1979) and at the FRAM III drifting ice station (1981) in the Arctic Ocean. The most striking feature of the results is the high values of Ne/He in the shallow depths compared to previous results in other oceans. Ice formation and refreezing of meltwater appear to be the mechanisms which could explain the observed Ne/He anomaly.
