Life under the ice during the polar night

How microorganisms perform under the Arctic sea ice?How does the marine ecosystem function under extreme conditions? How will it change due to global warming? As part of the MOSAiC campaign organised by the Alfred Wegener Institute Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research, in which the German research vessel POLARSTERN drifts through the Arctic Ocean for over a year, studies will be carried out on microorganisms living below the Arctic sea ice. The study, which will be carried out with the participation of scientists from GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel, will take place during the polar night from December to February.
