"Unexplained Disappearance: Sub Vanishes Beneath Antarctica's 'Doomsday' Glacier"

TL;DR Summary
A seven-meter long submersible named Ran, exploring Antarctica's 'Doomsday' glacier, is missing and presumed lost under the ice, with the University of Gothenburg team suspecting its batteries have died. The unmanned vehicle, designed to operate autonomously, failed to return to its rendezvous point, and its route beneath the Thwaites glacier was programmed in advance. The team hopes to replace Ran but will need additional financing to top up the insurance payment.
