Long‐term moored measurements of temperature, salinity, and velocity over the abyssal plain near the North Pole show a rich array of eddy‐like structures over a wide range of depths. Here we demonstrate an anticyclone that extends from the surface to at least 1700 m, is about 60 km across, and has a likely origin along the Eurasian continental margin.
