Tysk havforskningsskib ramte plet

Det tyske havforskningsskib Polarstern var på rette tid og sted, da et gigantisk isbjerg i sidste måned rev sig løs i den østlige del af Antarktis. Det 1.290 km2 store isbjerg A74 efterlod en havbund, der i 50 år har været dækket af flere hundrede meter is.

Det sker højest hvert tiende år, at så stort et isbjerg river sig løs i Antarktis. At være til stede når det sker, er et utroligt held - siger Dr Hartmut Hellmer, der står i spidsen for forskerne om bord på det tyske havforskningsskib Polarstern, som tilhører Alfred Wegener Institute i Bremerhaven.

Polarstern kantede sig ind mellem det løsrevne isbjerg og Brunt Ice Shelf, som A74 kælvede fra. De tyske forskere indsamlede talrige prøver af havbunden og vandlagene bag A74, en ikke ufarlig operation der blev fulgt op af en sejlads rundt om hele det gigantiske isbjerg - med løbende indsamling af prøver. Et sandt slaraffenland for forskerne.
