Great panoramic views from the 'Peildeck' as we steam through the ice 🧊❄️ to our northernmost #HAUSGARTEN station 🥰!

Packing my equipment for #Polarstern expedition #PS143/1 to @AWI_Media HAUSGARTEN Observatory in the #Arctic #deepsea, the anticipation is growing 🤗! Can’t wait to see the whites and blues again! And my #ROV experiments!

This is it! We have disembarked in Tromsø and are heading home after a very successful and enjoyable expedition on RV #Polarstern! Many thanks to the crew, chief scientist and colleagues for making this possible! #PS143/1 #Arctic

Yesterday afternoon, we started our way south to Tromsø, where most scientists and crew will disembark from #Polarstern. #PS143/1 was a very successful & fun expedition, but now I am looking forward to green spaces, family & friends and 🥬🍅🥒!

🐻❄️ We‘re definitely in polar bear country now: the earlier sighting was actually 3, a mother and her two cubs. And just now we saw another bear! 🥰

It was a glorious morning until this sea ice with a piece of #plastic drifted by. Sights like this - especially in such a remote part of our planet - will never cease to sadden me 😔.

A glorious morning in the #Arctic (with good visibility ☺️)! Looking forward to our last day of fieldwork at the HAUSGARTEN stations off the East Greenland slope! ❄️🧊#PS143/1

On the eve of #midsummer (summer solstice), we were greeted by a beautiful halo 🤩!
🧐 It is a ring or light that forms around the sun as sunlight refracts off ice crystals in a thin veil of cirrus clouds.

For the past few days, we’ve had a small (exhausted) visitor on the ship (Fram Strait). Any ideas what it might be? Maybe a Bohemian Waxwing (Seidenschwanz)? #PS143/1

Today, we have already much more sea ice floes around us - and quite logically we have just seen the first two polar bears 🐻❄️! No photo to share unfortunately, as they were too distant. Let’s hope for more sightings 🤞 #PS143/1

Sad find but positive outcome?! During the last dive at the HAUSGARTEN central station (~2500 m), the ROV found a bundle of many different #plastics related to fisheries & brought it up. I found at least nine different species entangled in this discarded bundle! #PS143/1 #Arctic

Another night, another camera deployment on the seafloor of our southernmost #HAUSGARTEN station (~2300 m), which is most influenced by Atlantic waters. All our #TimeSeries stations are now completed for this year 🖐️! #PS143/1 #Arctic

It was nice to see our Hausgärtners again during our 1st OFOBS camera deployment at our HAUSGARTEN central station (2500m, #Arctic) by Autun Purser. In addition to a lot of algal debris, we saw quite a few #plastic items that we will count to continue our time series. #PS143/1

So excited to start our ROV work tomorrow 🤗! Today we got an introduction to the different parts, protocols & procedures from the ROV team of @GEOMAR_en! Remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) allow us to do very targeted sampling & in situ experiments on the deep seafloor. #PS143/1

Happy to report: 1st successful deployment of the epibenthic sledge! Lots of 🦐 , sea cucumbers, amphipods, isopods & sponges that took some time to process for #microplastic, #nanoplastic & additive analyses at AWI & UFZ @www.helmholtz.de
Great team effort 💪!

This little flower from the abyss brightened my day: Bathycrinus cf. carpenterii, a species of filter feeding sea lily that are related to starfish and sea urchins and that is one of our Hausgärtners. Caught by multiple corer this specimen came up in great shape 🤗! #PS143/1

The last action of #PS143/1 was successful: our crawler was deployed on the seafloor and the ROV visit shows that it is crawling and measuring 🤗. During the year-long deployment, the crawler will make a new measurement and will then move for 10 m every 10 days🤞.
