Scientists to trap themselves in Arctic ice for $158-mn 1 yr study

Scientists from 17 countries are preparing for a $158-million one-year-long, "largest Central Arctic expedition" where a ship will be trapped in a large piece of ice. The MOSAiC mission is aimed to study climate change as the ice drifts towards the North Pole. "So far we have always been locked out of that region...we're going to change that," researchers said.
