Self-guiding ocean robots complete 1 yr under Antarctic ice
Self-guiding ocean robots termed 'Seagliders', deployed in January 2018, completed one year of their mission to travel under the Antarctic Dotson Ice Shelf and return to report observations. In the mission, funded by late Microsoft Co-founder Paul Allen's foundation, Seagliders made 18 trips into the ice shelf's cavity. The Seagliders also made 30 surveys along the ice shelf's face.
