The greatest polar expedition of all time : the Arctic mission to the epicenter of climate change

Rex, Markus (author.). Göring, Marlene, (author.). Pybus, Sarah, (translator.).

Summary: Atmospheric scientist Markus Rex recounts the monumental Arctic expedition he captained for one year. The MOSAiC expedition sought crucial data on how the climate crisis is impacting and changing Arctic environments. Beginning in 2019, hundreds of scientists from over 80 institutes around the world set out to live and work in the North Pole year round - a feat that had never been done before due to near-unlivable conditions. Interweaving history, science, and memoir, this book is about the teamwork it takes to complete a risky goal, all in the name of understanding - and responding to - the climate crisis.
