abstract: RV SONNE cruise SO244-2 sailed offshore northern Chile from Nov. 27 to&#13;\nDec. 13, 2015 to install the seafloor geodetic network GeoSEA (Geodetic&#13;\nEarthquake Observatory on the SEAfloor) on the marine forearc and outer rise of the&#13;\nSouth American subduction system around 21°S. This segment of the Nazca-South&#13;\nAmerican plate boundary has last ruptured in an earthquake in 1877 and was&#13;\nidentified as a seismic gap prior to the 2014 Iquique/Pisagua earthquake (Mw=8.1).&#13;\nT
