The pair set sail from Port Said but as their ship passed the Gulf of Lion it was torpedoed and sank.

During especially cold, dry winters, the temperature of surface waters in the Gulf of Lion falls, while their salinity increases due to evaporation.

There is evidence that its numbers have declined significantly in the Gulf of Lion, off Albania, and around the Balearic Islands.

It is caused by low-pressure systems which enter the Gulf of Lion from the west or southwest after traversing southern France and northern Spain.

Named by the UK Antarctic Place-names Committee in 1977 after the marin, a warm south or southeast wind of the Gulf of Lion in France.
