CLIMATE
At its highest point, Anegada, one of the main British Virgin Islands, only rises 28 feet above the ocean surface. The island, photographed by Andreas Mogensen, will be affected by rising sea levels and intensified hurricanes in the future. During his Huginn mission, Andreas conducted various scientific experiments, many of which focused on climate research to help scientists understand Earth’s changing climate.
KLIMA
På sit højeste punkt, Anegada, en af de vigtigste British Virgin Islands, stiger kun 8 meter over havets overflade. Øen, fotograferet af Andreas Mogensen, vil blive påvirket af stigende havniveauer og intensiverede orkaner i fremtiden. Under sin Huginn mission udførte Andreas forskellige videnskabelige eksperimenter, hvoraf mange fokuserede på klimaforskning for at hjælpe forskere med at forstå Jordens klimaforandringer.
