Abstract

Designs for the planned Aurora Borealis icebreaker vessel for polar research funded by European government agencies have been unveiled. Final specs for the vessel with drilling capacity of 5000 m water depth are due for completion next year with construction at an estimated €650 million due to start in 2012, and operations by 2014. Nicole Biebow, Lester Lembke-Jene, Martina Kunz-Pirrung and Joern Thiede (Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research) and Paul Egerton (European Science Foundation) provide this update.
