The mountains and icy masses around me are shrouded in murkiness. I'm in a little pontoon cruising a remote fjord of the Svalbard archipelago, somewhere between terrain Norway and the North Pole, taking after a mechanized kayak as it putts forward and backward over the uneven water. Through the obscurity, I can marginally see the kayak, called a Jetyak, as it once in a while rams into ice along its pre-modified course. This is the second time the Jetyak loaded down with cutting edge gear has been dispatched to gather data about the small life forms living in the sub zero water, and it's going to yield some astounding information for the researchers with me on this watercraft. Since 2012, the scientists Jørgen Berge of the Arctic University of Norway (UiT) and Geir Johnsen of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) have made normal treks on board the exploration vessel Helmer Hanssen to investigate the marine life that gets by in the dead of the polar night, the murkiness that encompasses the Arctic from November to February. Berge is the pioneer of the examination group, which likewise incorporates researchers from the U.S. what's more, the U.K.; Johnsen is responsible for submersibles and other hardware.
