POLARPROG-Polarforskningsprogram

Big Black Box:

Our knowledge on polar night ecology is poor. Most Arctic studies are conducted during the light season from spring to autumn when field work is convenient. The dark Arctic winter, however, may last up to eight or nine months depending on the snow depth a nd sea ice cover. The ecological and phys...
