Follow an international team of scientists from over twenty countries who embark on the epic year-long expedition to the Central Arctic, MOSAiC. The Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) launched in September 2019. Led by the German Alfred Wegener Institute, the MOSAiC team froze the German Icebreak R/V Polarstern into the sea ice to observe the Arctic climate for an entire year. As they drift with an ice floe, they strive to better understand this remote region's climate and its future.
This film captures the year-long journey of scientists onboard the MOSAiC Expedition and their experiences in one of the most extreme and unique places on Earth.
