Dear interested reader, colleagues, friends and families, you may ask why we did not report on storms up to now. It’s simple, there are none. With the help of two weathermen on board in collaboration with the Deutscher Wetterdienst, we can bypass them. They give the weather consultation each day for the captain of the […]
Dear interested reader, colleagues, friends and families, we are still moving through the Atlantic Ocean, sampling seafloor sediments and different water bodies in up to 5100 m depth. We are interested in all forms of life, many range in size between 0.0000001 m for microbes and 1 m for the mahi-mahi fish. Our main interests are the […]
Dear interested reader, colleagues, friends and families, let’s take a deep breath now. Imagine, you are swimming in the ocean and, suddenly, your body is sinking, sinking and sinking.

Sind meine Augen offen oder geschlossen? Eine tiefe, schwere undurchdringliche Dunkelheit umgibt mich, die es unmöglich macht diese Frage zu beantworten. Ich versuche mich zu bewegen, aber meine Anstrengungen führen ins Nichts und ich gebe auf. Ich treibe dahin und weiß nicht ob ich dieser vollkommenen Finsternis entkommen kann. Sehr weit entfernt sehe ich plötzlich […]
