On 12 October 2020, after 13 months in the central Arctic drifting with the sea ice, the RV Polarstern icebreaker returned to its port in Bremerhaven, Germany, marking the end of the most ambitious Arctic research expedition to date. The resulting snow, ice, atmospheric, oceanographic and biological measurements will allow scientists and the public to better understand our changing Arctic climate. At this roundtable, MOSAiC researchers will report on the unprecedented datasets collected during the year-long drift and touch on initial results.
