At 8:00 am the embarkment of scientists starts. As Polarstern cannot enter the harbor pier directly, people have to use the Zodiac (Fig.1).

the research icebreaker Polarstern returned from its roughly one month-long Arctic expedition to the Fram Strait between Greenland and Spitsbergen. In the so-called Hausgarten of the Alfred Wegener Institute
