Polarstern expedition PS106 2017 in the Arctic Ocean north of Spitsbergen: In order to rule out the influence of the icebreaker, the researchers travel to the open ocean in a rubber dinghy for sampling in survival suits. Since 2016, Transregio 172 of the German Research Foundation (DFG) has been investigating "Arctic climate change" to find out why the Arctic is warming much more than the rest of the Earth.
