On September 20, 2019, under the leadership of scientific researcher Markus Rex, the MOSAiC expedition launched, which became the largest in history. Researchers from 20 countries took part in it. Their goal was to understand how the climate of our planet is changing, because this is most noticeable on the ice of the Arctic. The flagship ship of the expedition was the German icebreaker Polarstern. Russian scientists from the Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute (AARI) and the Russian vessels Akademik Treshnikov, Akademik Fedorov and Kapitan Dranitsyn also took part in the study.
For a whole year, the Polarstern drifted along 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 far from civilization, the participants faced many serious problems: cracks in the ice floe, strong snowstorms, bone-chilling cold, impenetrable darkness, polar bears... All this did not stop scientists from shedding light on the global process of climate change. Research leader Markus Rex talks about the progress of the large-scale project, as well as the team's incredibly exciting experiences in the Arctic during the long winter polar night and summer polar day.
