  • Arctic Ocean melts into Atlantic Ocean due to global warming SVALBARD, ARCTIC OCEAN - JULY 23: A view of Svalbard and surrounding glaciers during the 4th National Arctic Scientific Research Expedition on Arctic Ocean on July 23, 2024. Turkiye s fourth National Arctic Scientific Research Expedition, comprising an 11-member team, identified the decreasing sea ice due to global climate change through sampling, evaluation, observation and unmanned aerial vehicles. Under the auspices of the Turkish Presidency and Ministry of Industry and Technology, and coordinated by TUBITAK MAM Polar Research Institute, scientists observed the a decrease in sea ice as much as 1 in 8 of Turkiye s size from June 2023 to 2024.

  • November 17, 2019, Arctic Sea, Arctic: CHRISTIAN ZOELLY, polar bear guard near the Polarstern. MOSAiC is the largest polar expedition in history: in September 2019, the German research icebreaker Polarstern has set sail from Tromso, Norway, to spend a year drifting through the Arctic Ocean, trapped in ice. The goal of the MOSAiC expedition is to take the closest look ever at the Arctic as the epicenter of global warming and to gain fundamental insights that are key to better understand global climate change. Hundreds of researchers from 20 countries are involved in this exceptional endeavor. Following in the footsteps of Fridtjof Nansen s ground-breaking expedition with his wooden sailing ship Fram in 1893-1896, the MOSAiC expedition will bring a modern research icebreaker close to the north pole for a full year including for the first ti - ZUMAz03_ 20191117_rep_z03_124 Copyright: xEstherxHorvathx
