At 12:45 pm on 19 August 2020 the German research icebreaker Polarstern reached the North Pole. The ship followed a route to the north of Greenland – and through a region that, in the past, was

day. During the time that the Polarstern is passively drifting with the ice, the consumption will be as low as 15 tonnes of diesel per day. This means that the Polarstern’s total diesel consumption for [...] standards. Modern Arctic and climate research is not possible without the use of large vessels like Polarstern and the other icebreakers taking part. Minimi- sing the environmental impact on this fragile region [...] environmentally friendly method of conduc- ting research with an icebreaker in the Arctic Ocean. The Polarstern is carried by the natural ice drift, pushed on by the wind. This does not cost anything and is
