The first account of the famous MOSAiC expedition, which ended in 2020 and was tracked by the New York Times, Guardian, Washington Post, and more media outlets. The biggest-ever Arctic science mission was international and involved hundreds of rotating scientists from over 80 institutions that can help promote the book. History-making achievement: MOSAiC studied climate change in the Arctic for a full year including Polar Winter, which had never been done before. A huge risk in the name of science: the MOSAiC team had their ship frozen into the ice and carried across the Arctic on the Transpolar Drift, an extremely dangerous maneuver that had never before been attempted. World-changing scientific data : The data gained by the expedition will be used by scientists around the world and is expected to take climate research "to a whole new level." The captain’s tell-all tale: Markus Rex offers never-before-heard insights into his experience as captain of this famous expedition. Suspenseful and compelling: Rex is a gifted writer, telling the story of terrifying storms, playful polar bears, and scientific discovery with a sense of suspense and adventure. For readers of books about the Franklin Expedition and other Arctic adventures: Rex comments on expeditions past throughout the book. A major feature documentary on the expedition aired on PBS in October 2021 and sold into 170 territories worldwide. MOSAiC partners with countries around the world on various expeditions , including the USA, Great Britain, Canada, Belgium, Finland, Germany, Austria, Denmark, China, France, Italy, Japan, Korea, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Russia, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland.
