What is climate? In this activity, your students will explore the differences between climate and weather to try to answer this question. 

Learn more about what was known and not known about the Arctic during the time of the 1893-1896 Fram expedition and what kinds of scientific observations they made during their three years locked in the ice. Check out the optional activity at the end of the reading where your students can compare the science goals of the 1893 Fram and 2019-2020 MOSAiC Arctic expeditions.

In this MOSAiC Quick Bite activity, compare the rooms inside the Fram ship from the 1893 expedition to the Arctic with the modern Polarstern. 

Compare the 1893 Fram and 2019 MOSAiC expeditions by reading and comparing firsthand accounts of each.
