A Norwegian icebreaker serves as a 'drift station' in winter for a group of international researchers; the ship is frozen into the Arctic Ocean sea ice and drifts with the ice floes, allowing scientists to study the ice in detail, map the ice structure and take samples. The world over scientists work hard to research the causes and effects of climate change, this research is essential for policy makers of all countries as we move to decarbonise our economies and mitigate the effects of climate change. Arctic research is especially important as climate change will be have more impact here. Arctic sea ice is considered to be a 'canary' for climate change as satellite data shows the sea ice which blankets the Arctic Ocean to be in steep and steady decline (in both surface area and thickness) over the past three decades. The photographer joined researchers as they worked through the
