Join me, Polina, on an extraordinary journey into the heart of the Southern Ocean. In this video, I take you aboard our research vessel as we navigate through Antarctic Circumpolar Current.
This 38-day voyage is more than an adventure in the stormy waters of the Southern Ocean. We're on a mission to collect crucial data from the Antarctic Circumpolar Current which acts as a safety belt protecting the icy continent from warm waters.
