Description
In the second episode, A Window on a Changing Climate,
Sedna IV takes advantage of the annual summer retreat of the pack ice
to make its way to the Antarctic mainland. Scientists from around the globe
work together to better understand the impact of warming observed in recent
decades. By tracking enormous drifting icebergs and studying the declining
colonies of Adelie penguins, researchers deepen our understanding of the
crucial role Antarctica plays in the vast planetary climate cycle.
