Strange shape under the ice of Antarctica
The latest Antarctic news comes to us from an international team of researchers that deployed an unmanned submarine called Ram that belongs to the University of Gothenburg, which is in Sweden, Ran submerged into the cavity of the Doson ice shelf in the West Antarctica and scanned the underside of what was found under this platform, he did so with an advanced sonar system.

This robotic submarine is a marvel in itself, it deserves a report, it could be the father of submarines that are designed to explore the oceans of the frozen moons, because it is not the typical robot submarine that is controlled from the boat, the Ran can be programmed to execute its tasks under the ice in total darkness and can remain on its mission for more than 24 hours without communicating with the control team.
Souce
This submarine worked for 27 days, traveling a total of more than 1000 km round trip under the glacier, going 17 km into the cavity. This ice platform floats on the sea, but its origin is the ice that slowly disappears. sliding from the mainland through tributary glaciers, what this submarine discovered is worrying.
