A record minimum of Arctic sea ice, new species in the Antarctic deep sea and unexpected insights into past climate -- these are only some of the results of the first expeditions during the International Polar Year 2007-2008.

From March 10-14, 2008 the most important projects will be presented in Muenster in the frame of the 23rd International Polar Meeting of the German Society of Polar Research.

There will be a press conference on March 10 at 1:00 p.m.
