The Arctic region remains largely under-researched, with only a few science missions conducted, primarily due to its harsh and extreme environment. Romain Troublé, biologist and CEO of the Tara Ocean Foundation, emphasizes the challenges, including severe temperatures and prolonged periods of darkness. To address this, the Tarapolar Station is designed for a continuous 18-month mission to study the Arctic’s biodiversity, which remains largely unexplored—scientists believe only 10% of its life forms have been documented. The mission aims to better understand how life adapts to the extreme conditions and responds to climate change, as the Arctic is warming significantly faster than…

The South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) is a significant area of weakened Earth’s magnetic field located over South America and the South Atlantic. This anomaly poses risks to space technology by exposing satellites to high-energy solar particles, which can lead to malfunctions, data corruption, or permanent damage. NASA researchers are particularly focused on the SAA’s dynamic nature—it is drifting northwest and splitting into two lobes, complicating the risks for spacecraft. The SAA’s origins stem from complex geodynamic processes in the Earth’s core, influenced by the tilt of the magnetic axis and structures deep below the Earth’s surface, such as Africa’s large…
