De MOSAiC expeditie –Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate– moet de meest omvangrijke ooit worden.

Embark on the largest polar expedition in history: in September 2019, the German research icebreaker Polarstern will set sail from Tromsø, Norway, to spend a year drifting through the Arctic Ocean – trapped in ice. The goal of the MOSAiC expedition is to take the closest look ever at the Arctic as the epicenter of global warming and to gain fundamental insights that are key to better understand global climate change. Hundreds of researchers from 19 countries take part in this exceptional endeavour.
Spil in de expeditie is de 12 duizend ton metende, 118 meter lange PRV Polarstern. De ‘oude’ nog uit 1982 (?). Wat oudjes betreft, ook vliegende zijn koudbestendig.
