☀️ We left Tromsø in sunshine. After a short stop off Longyearbyen, RV Polarstern is now heading west toward Greenland – 70 days of coring and surveying the Last Ice Area to find out how the Arctic behaved when it was 2°C warmer. 🧊 #ArcticOcean #Polarstern #i2B @paleodyn.bsky.social

🦇 Ping… ping… ping… just like a bat in the night, our ship uses sound to “see” beneath the Arctic seafloor. These echoes guide us to the best coring sites and help us avoid hidden obstacles — each profile a map to sediments laid down during ancient ice ages. ❄️🌊 🔗 arcg.is/0favaf0 @rhewlif.xyz
