RV Polarstern Films Arctic Depths Down to 4,400 Meters

摘要

The RV Polarstern returned to Bremerhaven, Germany, in October from the Central Arctic expedition IceArc, which employed new technologies to film and photograph life in and below the ice down to 4,400 meters depth, after two months. Since its departure from Troms0, Norway, in August, Polarstern traveled some 12,000 kilometers and conducted research at 306 stations. These included nine ice stations where the ship moored to an ice floe for several days to examine the ice, the water beneath it and the bottom of the sea.
