An Arctic science expedition changes plans to overcome logistical challenges from COVID-19
The MOSAiC expedition will leave its Arctic Ocean ice floe to resupply in Svalbard, after the pandemic halted planned resupplies.
Project leaders of the year-long MOSAiC science expedition presented an innovative solution to overcoming the logistical challenges arising from ongoing travel bans in light of the Corona pandemic. Rather than having supply ships come to it, the Polarstern will exit from the ice and meet two research vessels off the coast of Svalbard to exchange 100 staff and restock provisions.
