(english version below) Eine Seereise bedeutet nicht nur, interessante Forschung zu betreiben und viele neue Leute kennen zu lernen. Da man bekanntlich etwas mürrisch werden kann, wenn man hungrig ist, kann eine gute und abwechslungsreiche Verpflegung an Bord helfen, um die Stimmung der 39 WissenschaftlerInnen und 30 Crew-Mitglieder aufrecht zu halten. Hier auf der Sonne […]
