"Vanishing Act: Submersibles Lost in Antarctica's Doomsday Glacier"
TL;DR Summary
An uncrewed submersible named Ran, belonging to the University of Gothenburg, disappeared while exploring the Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica, where it was studying the glacier's potential impact on sea-level rise. The $3.6 million vessel was used to collect close-up imaging and data of the glacier's underside before losing contact and failing to resurface. Despite search efforts, the submersible has not been found, marking a significant loss for climate change research and the University of Gothenburg.
