Die letzten Seemeilen der OCEAN CHANGE 2024 liegen vor uns. Durch den kleinen Belt geht es unter Vollzeug Richtung Sonderburg, segeln vom Feinsten. Ein toller Abschluss. In Sonderborg wer...
Die Farbe des Ozeans
Die Eigenfarbe natürlicher Gewässer wird durch Absorption und Streuung des Lichts sowie durch die Konzentrationen gelöster und suspendierter Wasserinhaltsstoffe bestimmt. Hauptsächlich wi...
letzte Etappe durch die Ostsee
Der Süden Norwegens verabschiedet uns mit einem starken Ostwind. Wir können unser nächstes Ziel, den Hafen von Skagen, nicht anliegen. Wir ändern kurzentschlossen den Kurs auf Hanstholm, ...
Uncomfortable journey home
We are travelling home. The long, sunny summer days are long gone. It's been stormy and raining since the Lofoten Islands - it's uncomfortable on deck, and the days are getting shorter wi...
Joint meeting with SINTEF
Trondheim: We had arranged a meeting with the Norwegian Research Foundation for Applied Research SINTEF on 22 August. The contact had already been established through colleagues from the ...
Water, rocks, sky - the Lofoten Islands

Farewell between light and shadow
Bear Island bids us farewell with an impressive light show of blue, green and grey. It's Wednesday afternoon and we drop anchor heading south. You can tell from the birdlife that the dist...
Red houses in the middle of nowhere
Bear Island is a nature reserve that can only be entered with official authorisation. We have obtained the relevant paperwork from the Svalbard Sysselmesteren (area administrator) and set...
The way to Bjørnøya
The fog lies grey, heavy and impenetrable over the oily calm sea. Only the swell makes the Dagmar Aaen roll gently back and forth. We have reached Bear Island. Our problem: we can't see t...
31° C in the shade - absolute calm
The weather is incredible. The last few days the thermometer on land has risen to 31° in the shade. And it's absolutely calm. We constantly have to water the deck, otherwise it dries out....
Reunion on Väröy
In the warm light of the evening sun, we sail into the small harbour of Sörland, the main town on the island of Väröy in the south of Lofoten. Almost 700 people live here, most of whom wo...
At the Svartisen glacier
The Svartisen glacier - our next destination - is part of the second largest glacier system in continental Europe.
Its history is remarkable. Over the centuries, the glacier has advanced...
Destination: Lovund
A low-pressure system moves through and brings us low-hanging clouds and continuous rain. We make rapid progress in a stiff breeze. The ship's movements become more dynamic and some of th...
Fresh fish! It couldn't be fresher.
It remains lightly windy on our route, at times it is completely calm - even on the open sea. As we drift along, we throw the fishing rods overboard. It doesn't take long. Peter has his f...
Visit to the Maritime Competence Center
The fact that digitalization is well advanced in Norway becomes apparent on the first day of your visit. Cash is hardly ever used and port fees are paid via an app.
But that's not all. Y...
On the way to Alesund
The Norwegian fjords and sounds are like a labyrinth. Some of them are over 500 meters deep, so we can lower our CTD probe to its maximum depth.
It is then slowly winched up again with t...
From Haugesund through the Hardangerfjord to Norheimsund
Our next destination is the Hardangerfjord. The fjord is enormous in its dimensions. Seventy miles inland lies the small town of Norheimsund - our next destination.
There is the "Hard...
Skagerak to Haugesund
The Skagerak meant well with us - perhaps too well.
Weak winds, accompanied by dense sea fog and absolute calm in places. We have never experienced this sea area so calm. In Kristians...
The first week
A really eventful week lies behind us: the start in Kiel with the many press representatives and supporters of the OCEAN CHANGE present, finally setting sail and the start of the on-board...
