Expedition in the Pacific with the German research vessel Sonne. Six members of the microbial oceanography group were invited to join a cruise following a 12.000 km long transect starting in Auckland (New Zealand) and ending in Dutch Harbor (Alaska, USA) after 40 days.

We were reporting life from the ship in several blog articles.

The Sonne, built in 2014, is the current top research vessel maintained by Germany and sails exclusively in the Pacific.
