🐧‘To make the #WeddellSea a protected marine area, we need to demonstrate that what the area has to offer is of great value to humans.’
On 15 December, Oceanographer Jacqueline Stefels and marine biologist Maria van Leeuwe (UG) boarded the icebreaker #Polarstern of
@awi for an expedition to Antarctica.❄️

✧ Larsen Ice Shelf ✧
The Larsen Ice Shelf is a long ice shelf in the Weddell Sea, extending along the east coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. It is named after Norwegian explorer Carl Anton Larsen, who sailed along the ice front in 1893. Composed of a series of shelves along the coast, named with letters from A to G, since the mid-1990...

World’s biggest #iceberg breaks up after 40 years: ‘Most don’t make it this far’
‘Megaberg’ known as #A23a has rapidly disintegrated in warmer waters and could disappear within weeks
A23a calved from #Antarctic shelf in 1986 but quickly grounded in #WeddellSea, remaining stuck for over 30 years. It finally escaped in 2020 and, like other giants before it, was carried along "iceberg alley" into the South #Atlantic #Ocean by the powerful Antarctic Circumpolar Current.

British research ship crosses paths with world’s largest iceberg https://www.rcinet.ca/eye-on-the-arctic/2023/12/04/british-research-ship-crosses-paths-with-worlds-largest-iceberg/
“It is incredibly lucky that the #iceberg’s route out of the #WeddellSea sat directly across our planned path, and that we had the right team aboard to take advantage of this opportunity... The team took samples of ocean surface waters around the iceberg’s route to help determine what life could form around it and how the iceberg and others like it impact #carbon in the ocean”

That was somehow to be expected. Let's see how long this area stays free of ice. Very interesting season!

By the way, there are plenty open positions at @awi to obtain a PhD. Deadline already mid August. One related to Antarctic sea ice: https://jobs.awi.de/Vacancies/1429/Description/2

Really interesting and as @TatianaIlyina says, rather worrying paper from my colleagues in @OceanIceEU on the slow down of #Antarctic bottom water in the #WeddellSea
We had a long discussion after yesterday's #DigitalTwinOcean workshop about what we're maybe missing in the deep ocean... https://mas.to/@TatianaIlyina/110532642869083398

RT @CopernicusEU: On 23 January, an iceberg 5 times the size of Malta calved in #Antarctica🇦🇶
#Copernicus #Sentinel1🇪🇺🛰️ captured #A81 on 16 May after it travelled around 400 km across the #WeddellSea
The iceberg is now only 1.3 km away from the Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf https://t.co/rBLqlOL9Aq
