Underwater robot investigates Antarctica

For the first time, a robot has been under one of Antarctica’s most unstable glaciers. Researchers from the University of Gothenburg, partners of SMaRC, have investigated the Thwaites glacier in Antarctica from below. The research is part of the major research project The International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration.
