International Polar Year (Earth sciences 🌍)

The International Polar Years are collaborative, international efforts with intensive research focus on the polar regions. Karl Weyprecht, an Austro-Hungarian naval officer, motivated the endeavor in 1875, but died before it first occurred in 1882–1883. Fifty years later a second IPY took place. The International Geophy...
