In 1893, Arctic explorer Fridtjof Nansen deliberately lodged his wooden ship in the sea ice north of Siberia, hoping that its natural drift would take him to the North Pole. Though the Norwegian scientist failed to reach his desired destination, his three-year-long, 2,000-kilometer journey into the North Atlantic Ocean revealed important data about the then-mysterious Arctic Ocean. Now, an international team of researchers have embarked on a similar journey for a groundbreaking climate change study of the Arctic.

      It would probably be better if they just throw the anchor or if the water is very strong drop multiple anchors.

          in the arctic, sometimes water is too deep. kinda like trenches and there really is no bottom to anchor to,

                      I hope that scientists can really help solve the global warming; it's gotten me very worried!
