Approximately one quarter of all AWI expedition participants in research cruises aboard the RV Polarstern are international visiting scientists. AWI primary partner institutions Institution Country British
Polarstern Core Repository The section Marine Geology curates and archives sediment cores from both polar oceans which were taken by RV Polarstern since 1983. The collection comprises more than 4000 cores
were on a Norwegian krill fishing ship. How does day-to-day life on board a research vessel like Polarstern differ from life on board a commercial ship? Everything on board is focused on commercial krill [...] There’s no consideration given to important research questions or our sample-gathering plans. On the Polarstern, when the findings we make on board raise interesting new questions, we have a certain degree of

Infographic: The Transpolar Drift From autumn 2019, the German research icebreaker Polarstern will drift through the Arctic Ocean, locked in the ice. During the MOSAiC expedition, experts from 17 nations [...] inaccessible during the long polar night. Further, the drifting sea ice alone will determine Polarstern’s route, which will take it beyond the Northern Lights.
