more MOSAiC In September 2019, the German research icebreaker Polarstern set sail from Tromsø to drift in the Arctic Ocean for a year—trapped in the ice. The goal of the MOSAiC expedition was to study

m). In 2016, we reached the glacier’s calving front with R/V Polarstern —the first research vessel ever to do so—and discovered an astonishingly rapid inflow of warm Atlantic water beneath the glacier

of Bremen. On an expedition with the research icebreaker POLARSTERN, researchers discovered the northernmost hydrothermal field on Earth here – only around 300 kilometers from the North Pole. This

after a recording period of one year (expedition SWEAP of RV Polarstern). Reliable weather and sea state forecasts and the excellent poor-weather performance of RV Polarstern allow to sucessfully work [...] Following prototype tests in summer 2014 (expedition AURORA of RV Polarstern), we now have specially modified ocean bottom seismometers in routine use. The devices can also be used under sea ice at great [...] when the ice cover is almost 100% (Expedition PS137 of RV Polarstern). The data show that the Arctic Ocean offers good recording conditions for earthquakes due to the unprecedentedly low seismic
