Hi (again) from the #NorthPole ; we're taking a photo + #snow sampling break in between the #CTD casts 🤗 #Arctic #PS144 Naturvetenskap/GU Göteborg/Gothenburg

#Lunar landscape, literally (spot the #Moon). #SeaIce #Arctic #PS144 #MinusALot

The #Arctic #SeaIce is so incredibly variable 😦 These two pictures were not 1 minute apart: - Left, thin new ice, hardly 5 cm thick, with cracks of open water; - Right, that big block was more than 2 m thick and had 3 distinct frozen layers = multi year ice #PS144 #Cryosphere

Count the #SeaIce types on this picture #Arctic #PS144 #Cryosphere #OnThinIce

We passed the #equinox and are going back south -> we have a bit of a day/night cycle again. This is yesterday at midnight local time #Arctic #PS144 #Fieldwork #MidnightSun

We have open water again 🥳 ...and with open water the fog comes back 😑 #Arctic #SeaIce #Fieldwork #Ocean #Cryosphere #Polarstern

Have you had enough #SeaIce pictures yet? #Sunrise over the 1st year ice, with a mixture of pancakes and rafting nilas at the front (we're travelling through a re-freezing lead) #Arctic #Cryosphere #Ocean

Last night, going through the pack ice for the last time. #Fog #FieldworkFriday #Arctic #SeaIce #Cryosphere #Ocean

Did somebody say #pancakes? See how they move in our wake 🌊 Actually 3 days ago in the marginal #Ice zone (#MIZ). Now we're out and going home #SeaIce #Ocean #Arctic #Polarstern

#NorthernLights from a moving ship - I clearly need to work more on my dynamic balance 😅 #Arctic #Polarstern #sunset #impressionism

#northernlights from a moving ship, take 2 #Polarstern #NotQuiteArctic #NoEnhancement

#sea spray anyone? Sailing through the #NorthSea, one more day till we're home after more than 2 months (!) onboard #oceanography #waves #wind #physics #Polarstern

Paper with @SeaIceClimate on the #Arctic #SeaIce, revised while in the #Arctic #ice pack, accepted 🥳 Not allowed to say more right now, so enjoy the view I had while doing the revisions #Polarstern #Climate #Cryosphere #PS144 #FrostFlowers

Pardon my momentary boasting: #Nature Comms paper officially accepted and phone call "congratulations you won a prize", both before lunch 🥳

The 1st sighting of the rare bigfin squid (Magnapinna) in the Tonga Trench (Southern Pacific Ocean), filmed by researchers from Deep Sea Research Centre KelpieGeo Inkfish at 3,300 meters in Sept 2024. There have been so few sightings, little is known about these alien-like squids.

Going through my pictures because of the big thing happening this coming Tuesday -> #FieldFriday / #FlashbackFriday to our first #Arctic sunset this summer. I love the ocean, but darn #SeaIce is beautiful!

Den globala uppvärmningen går som snabbast vid polerna. Istäcket över Arktis har redan tunnats ut så mycket att vi kan få uppleva en dag utan havsis före 2030 enligt Dr Céline Heuzé från Göteborgs universitet / University of Gothenburg och @SeaIceClimate från CU Boulder 🦬. shorturl.at/vKBqH

And it's out! "The first ice-free day in the Arctic could occur before 2030". For more details on yet another bad news for the #Arctic and its #SeaIce, check the paper or email me. nature.com/articles/s4146…
