The MS Cape Race is a former deep-sea fishing vessel from 1963 that was converted into an expedition ship in 2019. KNOWLEDGE CREATES EXPERIENCE: With this premise in mind, a small group of guests accompanies the crew on “science voyages” into the fascinating world of marine ecology – guided by expedition leaders, fellow travelers look and listen, for example, into the icy depths of the Arctic with the help of a professional ROV camera and an underwater microphone, admire plankton samples under the microscope, determine relevant environmental factors such as salinity, temperature, or nutrients, or take depth samples with a water scoop. In this way, knowledge about the polar ecosystem is gathered incidentally on these voyages.
