Successful flyover with research plane Polar 6 Substantial melting in regime 1 in the ice-edge zone Oceanographic programme records the regimes on different scales Flyover with the IceBird plane Polar

Polarstern reaches the third target region and thus the third sea-ice regime The CONTRAST concept pans out: The floes in Region 3 are very different The atmospheric research team combines classic and

During an Arctic reconnaissance flight on 14 June 2021, polar researchers made an unusual discovery: trapped in the white pack ice of Fram Strait, they found an iceberg covered with a layer of black r

The Arctic: Because winds scattered the ice of the eastern Arctic, the sea-ice extent, at 5.6 million square kilometres, was moderate. Powerful winds and ice migration, plus a warmer ocean, explain th

AWI researcher on board the French Arctic cruise ship Le Commandant Charcot observes extremely low ice concentration during a journey toward the North Pole. The ship rapidly makes headway. Analyses of

The totality of ice found at sea that originates from the freezing of seawater and floats on the surface; however, some of it may also stem from river ice or inland ice, which becomes part of the sea-

The drift station’s goal is to continually observe changes in the Arctic climate system over the course of a complete drift through the Arctic Ocean. Over the past several months, a six-member scienti

New study: Two low-ice winters dash hopes that sea-ice decline in the Arctic had lessened over the past two decades The Arctic: High sea surface temperatures and very little sea ice in the northern Ba

RV Polarstern accompanies Tara Polar Station on its first drift in the ice The first two floes show the expected differences Support for cruise and station planning improved via satellite data Enterin

In the Arctic, young and thin ice is melting rapidly and on a large scale; in the Antarctic, unusually warm air masses are slowing the formation of new ice in key regions. Remote sensing of sea ice: I
