Thin ice.

Come along on a climate expedition!

Dünnes Eis. Komm mit auf Klima-Expedition! – Sonderausstellung "Dünnes Eis. Komm mit auf Klima-Expedition!" im Deutschen Technikmuseum

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 German Museum of Technology's Ladestraße takes visitors on a climate expedition. School classes and families experience what it is like to conduct research in the Arctic. They 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.
