The starting point and „home floe“ for the upcoming year of the @MOSAiCArctic drift is set - now the race against darkness begins with the installation of all devices on the floe - and around it. #icedrift @AWI_de @AWI_Media awi.de/en/about-us/se… Photo by @EstherHorvath3 pic.twitter.com/zibr9WfzAR
