Description
The Arctic ice is melting before our eyes, revealing secrets about one of the world's crucial ecosystems. For centuries, thick ice and extreme cold have prevented scientists from uncovering its secrets. But in 2019, an unprecedented expedition to the Arctic changed that. On board the Polarstern, a powerful research vessel, over 500 scientists from around the world embarked on a mission to study how the Arctic is changing. Their goal was to let their vessel freeze in the sea ice and drift towards the North Pole, gathering vital information about this mysterious region. This science-based guide takes readers on a thrilling journey through the expedition's discoveries. Filled with photographs, illustrations, diagrams, and fact bars, Mission: Arctic sheds light on the dangers faced by the scientists, from freezing temperatures to terrifying storms and polar bears. The knowledge gathered on the Polarstern has the power to determine our planet's future - if only we pay attention.
