On Polarstern, two fluxgate three-component magnetometers are mounted on the crow's nest where they continuously [...] software after completing precise circular manouevres at various points during a science cruise. Polarstern also acts as a base for two helicopters, either of which can be set up to tow a Scintrex Caesium

Bremerhaven and Kiel and their international partners discovered this unique hotspot of life during a POLARSTERN expedition and now report their findings in the journal Nature Communications . They stress the
Expedition start On the 6th of January, the research vessel Polarstern set off from Cape Town in South Africa for an expedition of around eight weeks to the Antarctic. Extensive preventative measures [...] further planned expeditions in the coming years. Interested parties can follow this and subsequent Polarstern expeditions live in a new app.

Our [...] ice-covered Arctic Ocean and recovered it in more than 80% sea-ice cover (expedition AURORA of RV Polarstern). The data show that the Arctic ocean exhibits a very low noise level and therefore provides ideal
