biology, oceanography, sea-ice and atmospheric research. Here, up to 90 scientific expedition participants and 50 crewmembers can find accommodation. The new Polarstern will offer them a safe haven for investigating Earth\u2019s fascinating polar regions and will be equipped with a range of laboratories and fixed systems, from multibeam echosounders to sensors for meteorological observations, to digital infrastructure. Armed with this equipment and resources, the new Polarstern, just as her predecessor, will be able to operate year-round in the Arctic and Antarctic and gather data on those regions of our planet hardest-hit by climate change. After all, what happens in the polar regions affects us all: global ocean currents are changing, along with atmospheric circulation patterns, which affect the weather around the globe. The oceans offer a vital food source and carbon dioxide sink, room for rest and recreation, valuable minerals and natural resources, and open global transport routes. These services are now in jeopardy. The new Polarstern will give researchers from around the world the opportunity to gain critical insights into the progressing climate change our planet is experiencing, especially in the polar regions. Society urgently needs this type of knowledge so as to make the right choices regarding climate protection, environmental protection and nature conservation \u2013 for the future of the polar regions, for biodiversity on land and at sea, and for the generations to follow.<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n        <div  class=\"e5-flexbox e5-has-align-items--desktop e5-has-background-image--desktop e5-has-background-size--desktop e5-has-background-position--desktop e5-has-background-repeat--desktop e5-has-background-attachment--desktop e5-frame-size e5-frame-size--full e5-frame-size--safe-auto e5-has-height--desktop e5-has-height--landscape\" style=\"--e5-align-items--desktop:center;background-color: var(--wp--preset--color--awi-gray);--e5-background-image--desktop: url(https:\/\/polarstern.awi.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/zitat-versorgung-03.svg), linear-gradient(180deg,rgb(2,27,60) 0%,rgb(168,232,255) 100%);--e5-background-size--desktop: 100% auto, 100% 62%;--e5-background-position--desktop: 50% 50%, 50% 0%;--e5-background-repeat--desktop: no-repeat, no-repeat;--e5-background-attachment--desktop: scroll, scroll;--e5-height--desktop: 1100px;--e5-height--landscape: 600px;\">\n        <blockquote data-e5-animation-name=\"text-lines\" data-e5-animation=\"{&quot;name&quot;:&quot;text-lines&quot;,&quot;once&quot;:true,&quot;timeline&quot;:{&quot;kind&quot;:&quot;scroll-self&quot;,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;stagging&quot;:0,&quot;start&quot;:0,&quot;end&quot;:1,&quot;scrollView&quot;:{&quot;rangeStart&quot;:{&quot;offset&quot;:0,&quot;rangeName&quot;:&quot;contain&quot;},&quot;rangeEnd&quot;:{&quot;offset&quot;:75,&quot;rangeName&quot;:&quot;cover&quot;}}}\" style=\"color: var(--wp--preset--color--awi-deep-blue);--e5-position--desktop: relative;--e5-bottom--desktop: ;--e5-top--desktop: calc(50% + 56px);--e5-padding-left--desktop: var(--e5-spacing--3xl);--e5-padding-right--desktop: var(--e5-spacing--3xl);--e5-padding-left--mobile: 24px;--e5-padding-right--mobile: 24px;\"  class=\"e5-text-box e5-text-style e5-text-style--quote e5-has-position--desktop e5-has-bottom--desktop e5-has-top--desktop e5-has-padding-left--desktop e5-has-padding-right--desktop e5-has-padding-left--mobile e5-has-padding-right--mobile e5-frame-size e5-frame-size--m e5-frame-size--safe-auto\">Whether fresh vegetables or bolts:<br>Resupplying the Neumayer Station III is an essential task for the Polarstern.<\/blockquote>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n        <section  class=\"e5-flexbox e5-has-align-items--desktop e5-has-background-image--desktop e5-has-background-size--desktop e5-has-background-position--desktop e5-has-background-repeat--desktop e5-has-background-attachment--desktop e5-has-padding-top--desktop e5-has-padding-bottom--desktop e5-frame-size e5-frame-size--full e5-frame-size--safe-auto\" style=\"--e5-align-items--desktop:center;background-color: var(--wp--preset--color--awi-gray);--e5-background-image--desktop: linear-gradient(180deg,rgb(220,226,227) 0%,rgb(28,100,145) 100%);--e5-background-size--desktop: cover;--e5-background-position--desktop: center center;--e5-background-repeat--desktop: no-repeat;--e5-background-attachment--desktop: scroll;--e5-padding-top--desktop: 100px;--e5-padding-bottom--desktop: 200px;\">\n        <div  class=\"e5-flexbox e5-has-row-gap--desktop e5-frame-size e5-frame-size--content e5-frame-size--safe-auto\" style=\"--e5-row-gap--desktop: var(--e5-spacing--0);\">\n        <h1 style=\"color: var(--wp--preset--color--awi-deep-blue);--e5-text-transform--desktop: none;\"  class=\"e5-text-box e5-text-style e5-text-style--h1 e5-has-text-transform--desktop\">Designed for use in heavy ice<\/h1>\n\n\n\n\n        <div blockProps  class=\"e5-auto-column wp-block-e5-auto-column e5-has-column-count--landscape e5-has-column-count--desktop e5-has-margin-top--desktop\" style=\"--e5-column-count--desktop:2;--e5-column-count--landscape:1;--e5-margin-top--desktop: var(--e5-spacing--xxl);\">\n            \n        <p style=\"color: var(--wp--preset--color--awi-deep-blue);\"  class=\"e5-text-box \">The new research icebreaker holds a \u201cpolar class 2\u201d rating, making her suitable for year-round operations in the multiyear ice of the Arctic and Antarctic. This level of icebreaking performance (also by international standards) is needed in order to penetrate the \u201cLast Ice Areas\u201d like the southern Weddell Sea in the Antarctic and the region north of Greenland and the Canadian islands \u2013 areas for which observational data is urgently needed in order to gauge the impacts of climate change and detect critical changes early on. Today, climate change is already affecting ice and meteorological conditions, producing larger pressure ridges and heavier snow cover on the ice floes. Given these changes, the new ship has to be able to break through 1.8-metre-thick ice with 20 percent snow cover at a consistent speed of three knots. Moreover, the new ship\u2019s dynamic positioning system makes her highly manoeuvrable, so that scientific fieldwork like collecting samples can be done at precisely the right site.<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n        <section  class=\"e5-flexbox e5-has-align-items--desktop e5-has-background-image--desktop e5-has-background-size--desktop e5-has-background-position--desktop e5-has-background-repeat--desktop e5-has-background-attachment--desktop e5-has-padding-top--desktop e5-has-padding-bottom--desktop e5-frame-size e5-frame-size--full e5-frame-size--safe-auto\" style=\"--e5-align-items--desktop:center;background-color: var(--wp--preset--color--awi-gray);--e5-background-image--desktop: linear-gradient(180deg,rgb(28,100,145) 0%,rgb(2,27,60) 100%);--e5-background-size--desktop: cover;--e5-background-position--desktop: center center;--e5-background-repeat--desktop: no-repeat;--e5-background-attachment--desktop: scroll;--e5-padding-top--desktop: 100px;--e5-padding-bottom--desktop: 100px;\">\n        <div  class=\"e5-flexbox e5-has-row-gap--desktop e5-frame-size e5-frame-size--content e5-frame-size--safe-auto\" style=\"--e5-row-gap--desktop: var(--e5-spacing--0);\">\n        <h1 style=\"color: var(--wp--preset--color--white);--e5-text-transform--desktop: none;\"  class=\"e5-text-box e5-text-style e5-text-style--h1 e5-has-text-transform--desktop\">Vegetables and bolts for the antarctic<\/h1>\n\n\n\n\n        <div blockProps  class=\"e5-auto-column wp-block-e5-auto-column e5-has-column-count--landscape e5-has-column-count--desktop e5-has-margin-top--desktop\" style=\"--e5-column-count--desktop:2;--e5-column-count--landscape:1;--e5-margin-top--desktop: var(--e5-spacing--xxl);\">\n            \n        <p style=\"color: var(--wp--preset--color--white);\"  class=\"e5-text-box \">In addition to scientific expeditions, the Polarstern has another essential duty, namely resupplying the Neumayer Station III in the Antarctic. Located on the Ekstr\u00f6m Ice Shelf on the coast of the eastern Weddell Sea, the station serves as the point of departure for Germany\u2019s land-based Antarctic research efforts. Without resupply from the Polarstern, conducting research at the station would be impossible. The resupply runs cover everything you can imagine: from fresh vegetables for the station team, to cutting-edge IT equipment, to bolts and replacement parts for the station, to huge components, e.g. for the nearby windmill.<br>Both the Neumayer Station III and the Polarstern are prerequisites for Germany\u2019s status as a consultative member of the Antarctic Treaty, i.e., as a member with voting rights. Signed in 1959, the treaty marked the end of competing territorial claims in the Antarctic, while also protecting the region\u2019s habitat from military use and commercial mining. As a consultative member, Germany pursues no territorial claims in the Antarctic; rather, it stands for peaceful collaboration under the Antarctic Treaty, helping to ensure the \u2018seventh continent\u2019 is preserved for all generations to come.<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n        <section  class=\"e5-flexbox e5-has-align-items--desktop e5-has-padding-top--desktop e5-has-padding-bottom--desktop e5-has-padding-top--landscape e5-has-padding-bottom--landscape e5-frame-size e5-frame-size--full e5-frame-size--safe-auto\" style=\"--e5-align-items--desktop:center;background-color: var(--wp--preset--color--awi-dark-blue);--e5-padding-top--desktop: 200px;--e5-padding-bottom--desktop: 200px;--e5-padding-top--landscape: 50px;--e5-padding-bottom--landscape: 170px;\">\n        <div  class=\"e5-flexbox e5-has-align-items--desktop e5-has-row-gap--desktop e5-frame-size e5-frame-size--content e5-frame-size--safe-auto\" style=\"--e5-align-items--desktop:center;--e5-row-gap--desktop: var(--e5-spacing--0);\">\n        <h1 style=\"color: var(--wp--preset--color--white);--e5-text-transform--desktop: none;--e5-text-align--desktop: center;\"  class=\"e5-text-box e5-text-style e5-text-style--h1 e5-has-text-transform--desktop e5-has-text-align--desktop\">Polarstern as a research and supply vessel<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n        <div  class=\"e5-flexbox e5-frame-size e5-frame-size--outset e5-frame-size--safe-auto\" style=\"color: var(--wp--preset--color--white);\">\n        <div style=\"--e5-image-slider--aspectRatio:1\/1;\" class=\"e5-slider e5-slider--has-overflow e5-image-slider e5-image-slider__item--has-aspect-ratio wp-block-e5-image-slider\"     data-e5-animate-targets=\".e5-slider__item--visible\" data-e5-animate-stagging=\"0.15\">\n            <button class=\"e5-slider__nav e5-slider__nav--prev\" data-action=\"slider-prev\" type=\"button\" aria-label=\"Vorherige Kachel anzeigen\">\n                <span class=\"fal fa-chevron-left\"><\/span>\n            <\/button>\n            <div class=\"e5-slider__viewport\">\n                <div class=\"e5-slider__shadow e5-slider__shadow--left\"><\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"e5-slider__item-list\">\n                        <div  class=\"e5-image-slider__item\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" data-e5-role=\"button\" data-e5-gallery=\"{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/polarstern.awi.de\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2024\\\/12\\\/20230101-arcwatch-estherhorvath-27-2048x1366.jpg&quot;,&quot;width&quot;:2048,&quot;height&quot;:1366,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;First ice station on the ice at 84\\u00b0 04.06&#039; N 031\\u00b0 16.04&#039; E.
