The Northern Holiday Expedition was the second major postwar Scripps Institution of Oceanography expedition to the deep Pacific. It explored an area in the eastern North Pacific from Hawaii to the Gulf of Alaska, partially retracing the historic Challenger Expedition track of 1873 -1876. This was a little known region at the time, a "holiday" area in naval parlance, hence the name of the expedition
