On September 20, 2019, the MOSAiC expedition launched under the leadership of scientific researcher Markus Rex and became the largest expedition in history. Researchers from 20 countries took part. Their goal was to understand how the climate of our planet is changing, because on the ice of the Arctic it is noticeable best of all. The flagship ship of the expedition was the German icebreaker Polarstern. Russian scientists from the Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute (AARI) and Russian ships "Akademik Treshnikov", "Akademik Fedorov" and "Kapitan Dranitsyn" also took part in the study.
For a whole year "Polarstern" drifted together with the ice floe, and the route of the expedition almost completely repeated the path of the famous Norwegian explorer Fridtjof Nansen on the ship "Fram". During the time spent away from civilization, the participants faced many serious problems: cracks in the ice floe, heavy snowstorms, bone-chilling cold, impenetrable darkness, polar bears.... All of this has not stopped scientists from shedding light on the global process of climate change. Research leader Marcus Rex talks about the progress of the ambitious project, as well as the team's incredibly exciting experiences in the Arctic during the long winter polar night and summer polar day.
