MARIA S. MERIAN, SONNE, POLARSTERN, and METEOR – these are the names of the large German research vessels on which scientists around the world explore the oceans.
What is life like on board a research vessel? What does everyday life at sea look like and what is different from life on land? What equipment is used and why do scientists go out to sea to do research in the first place?
The expedition participants answer these and many other questions in their ship's logs. They share their stories about the work and life on board.
