The North Pole is the fastest-warming area of our planet. Yet, we know so little about the local ecosystems, the way they interact with the climate, and how global warming is impacting them. The French Tara Ocean Foundation wants to change that by deploying a spaceship-shaped station in the Central Arctic. The goal is to study the North Pole's ecosystem to document and better understand its relationship to the climate, and how the rising temperatures may change this vulnerable area.
