Segeln durch die Arktis und den Antarktischen Ozean
Bremerhaven – Fram Strait – Bremerhaven: since 24 May, the Polarstern has once again been underway. Her goal: to gather samples from the Arctic waters between Greenland and Svalbard. For five weeks, the crew and researchers will live together in cramped quarters on board the icebreaker. People run ...[Read more]

By Magda Cardozo, PhD student of Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology, Bremen | In the open ocean, microbes are the most active and abundant organism, and control processes that are crucial for sustaining life on earth. We can study microorganisms from samples taken from a wide range ...[Read more]
By Damien Ringeisen | (Last blogpost from PS115.2 expedition to the Arctic after Polarstern's arrival in Bremerhaven) Is there a more iconic picture than a polar bear stranded on a piece of ice to illustrate climate change? As everybody surely knows, the artic sea ice is melting away. ...[Read more]
