A group of researchers from 20 countries is about to conclude what they're calling the largest polar expedition in history.
The icebreaker Polarstern set out from Norway in September of last year and is due back in port in Germany later in October. Over the past year, scientists onboard have been circling the North Pole, collecting data in the Arctic Ocean to better understand the loss of polar ice and climate change.
The vessel is currently “pretty close to the North Pole” near the Siberian coast, says professor Markus Rex, head of atmospheric physics at the Alfred Wegener Institute and leader of the Arctic expedition MOSAiC — the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate.
