"University of Gothenburg Secures New Submarine to Explore Antarctic Glaciers"

The University of Gothenburg has secured a new autonomous underwater vehicle to explore Antarctic glaciers, bolstering research efforts following the loss of the previous submarine under a glacier in 2024.

• The University of Gothenburg will utilize a new autonomous underwater vehicle to conduct research expeditions in Antarctica, focusing on critical studies of glaciers and oceanography.
• Funding for the new submarine comes from a significant donation, facilitating further exploration of the Thwaites Glacier and other vital polar regions of Earth.
• The previous autonomous underwater vehicle, Ran, contributed to crucial findings over six years, particularly during missions under the sea ice of Antarctica before it was lost.
