Eingefroren am Nordpol

Expedition leader Markus Rex on his year in the ice – featuring exclusive photos from the expedition, along with many graphics and maps. On September 20, 2019, the largest Arctic expedition in history began: the Polarstern left the port of Tromsø to become icebound at the North Pole. On board are scientists from 20 nations who will study the effects of climate change in the Arctic for a year. Markus Rex, the head of the research mission known as MOSAiC, tells the story of this unique expedition in his book: he shares experiences from daily life under the extreme conditions of the Arctic, the logistical and planning challenges faced, and the scientific insights the researchers were able to gather in the ice. "Frozen at the North Pole" is the story of a great research adventure and also a poignant look at the dramatic consequences of climate change.
