The future of the Arctic Ocean will be decided in part in the Fram Strait, a region between Greenland [...] pulse of the Atlantic current system in the Fram Strait, the region between Svalbard and the northeast coast of Greenland. “There are three reasons why the Fram Strait is so important to us. Firstly, it [...] from the Fram Strait is finding its way under their ice tongues, melting them from below. We’re currently studying the 79° North Glacier to determine how this warm water travels from the Fram Strait to

research stations in the Arctic and Antarctic, monitoring ocean currents at our deep-sea moorings in the Fram Strait and the Weddell Sea, and the data from our sea-ice buoys drifting through the Antarctic and
