Description
"It's becoming a boat today," enthuses Martin Hertau, who will be captain of the Tara polar station, as it is launched in Cherbourg. The floating laboratory, designed to withstand extreme temperatures and remain stuck in the ice for long months, is due to drift in the Arctic from 2026 to 2045 to improve scientific knowledge of the region.
