Abstract

As scheduled, Polarstern left the harbour of Punta Arenas (Chile) on April 21, 2017 to return to Bremerhaven. During the transit cruise meteorological and water chemistry studies were conducted. Part of the meteorological studies was also a training program of the “Deutsche Wetterdienst”. Additionally, extensive work took place in preparation of the change of the shaft generators. During the cruise leg from Las Palmas to Bremerhaven, a training course took place, during which 15 students from Germany and other European countries were instructed methods for hydro-acoustic measurements for geological studies. During a short stopover in Le Havre (France), members of the Science Committee of the German Federal Parliament and representatives from BMBF (Ministry of Education and Research) embarked. They took the opportunity of the two-day journey to gain information about the operational capability of the vessel and the possibilities for education of students on board. Figure 1.1 depicts the course of the expedition PS105. The leg from Las Palmas was also used to carry out extensive preparatory work for the planned event "OpenShip Polarstern" that was scheduled to take place in Bremerhaven on 22 and 23 April after the return of the research vessel from Antarctica. For that event a large-scale visitor programme had to be organized.
