Submarine Vanishes Beneath Antarctic Ice After Uncovering Mysterious Hidden Structures Scientists Can't Explain

An autonomous underwater vehicle named Ran, developed by Swedish scientists, conducted a groundbreaking mission beneath the Dotson Ice Shelf in Antarctica. Ran mapped the underside of the ice shelf, revealing complex terrain including terraced ledges, teardrop-shaped pits, and long melt channels. The mission provided valuable insights into the interaction between seawater and glacial ice, but Ran disappeared during a follow-up expedition in 2024. The data collected, however, has significantly improved understanding of basal melt and ice-ocean interaction, highlighting the complex patterns of melting beneath the ice shelf and its potential impact on global sea levels.
