'You look up and see light coming through': The divers venturing under the ice in the name of science.

There is a 70cm-thick layer of ice capping the surface of this lake, in a remote corner of Lapland, northern Finland.

Researchers found that #climatechange induced glacial melt increases the heavy metal content and changes the microbiome of habitat-forming brown algae in Arctic fjords. As algae are at the basis of the food web, this will likely have cascading ecological and economic consequences. idw-online.de/en/news848649 German: idw-online.de/de/news848647
