An entire year trapped in the Arctic ice MOSAiC - Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate It is the largest-scale Arctic research expedition of all time: From autumn 2019 [...] research icebreaker Polarstern drifted through the ArcticOcean, trapped in the ice. Participants from institutions from more than 20 countries studied the Arctic over the course of the year. They overwintered [...] other region has warmed as much as the Arctic in recent decades. Therefore, the MOSAiC project's goal was to reach a better understanding of the influence that the Arctic has on the global climate. Hence, it
