Most research trips to the Arctic have been made in the warmer months of summer, so far. But a team of scientists now wants to spend a whole year on a ship at the North Pole in October 2019. The idea is to better monitor and record climate change in the sea ice. American atmospheric specialist, Matthew Shupe, is the lead scientist.
