Scientists will do research work on fish, birds and the ocean currents. During a month they will conduct several missions on parts of the Norwegian continent. A group is also going to Bouvet Island to study Penguins and Seals.
Hopefully they can succeed to preserve the area as one of the best wilderness areas in the world.
