Dünnes Eis. Komm mit auf Klima-Expedition!

Icy winds, freezing cold and months of darkness - the POLARSTERN's expedition to the Arctic was extreme. The research vessel drifted through the Arctic Ocean for over a year from 2019. The team collected information on the changing Arctic climate: a milestone for climate research.

The "Thin Ice" exhibition in the loading area of the German Museum of Technology takes you on a climate expedition. You measure the thickness of the ice, search for microorganisms and find out how long there will still be multi-year ice. It becomes clear: The Arctic is our early warning system. And the warning is clear. There is little time left. We must act now to prevent a climate catastrophe.
