field expedition to the Central Arctic ever. Key element is the drift of the research icebreaker Polarstern frozen into the pack ice over an entire year. Over all, more than 300 scientists from 17 countries [...] to analyzing and exploiting the data over the coming years to decades. Beyond an ice camp around Polarstern, a distributed network of observations, airborne and satellite observations contribute to the field

After concluding our 4 th ice station at the northernmost location of this expedition, Polarstern set a south-westerly course, heading for the position of our well-known PASCAL ice floe of PS 106/1 [...] mostly gentle passage through the ice. Our journey was inter-spaced with stations where we set out Polarstern’s rubber boats Laura and Luisa to sample the surface microlayer, conducted CTD casts and performed
