The most famous robot submarine in the world is being sent to the Antarctic to investigate water flow and turbulence in the 3.5km deep waters of the Orkney Passage, a region of the Southern Ocean. Boaty McBoatface got its name when a PR campaign to name a new British Antarctic Survey research ship backfired. Its mission will be to investigate water flow and turbulence in the dark depths of the Orkney Passage, a 3.5km deep region of the Southern Ocean. A team from Aberystwyth University has been working on this project for over two years now, but it was only recently that they were able to get their hands on one of these robotic submarines.
