The Molloy Deep , which is at least the deepest part of the Greenland Sea, is located in the deep-sea channel called the Fram Strait between northeast Greenland and Svalbard . It is located about 165 km west of Svalbard.
In August 2019 Victor Vescovo reached the Molloy low with his submersible Limiting Factor .
