NASA's Perseverance rover has traveled more than 26.2 miles on Mars, completing the equivalent of a marathon in five years. The milestone was reached on June 14 while the rover explored terrain west of Jezero Crater.
Explorer Matthieu Tordeur and glaciologist Heïdi Sevestre are undertaking a pioneering 4000-kilometre kite-ski expedition across Antarctica to collect vital data on the continent's ice sheet. Using ground-penetrating radar, they aim to assess whether increased interior snowfall offsets coastal melting amid climate change. The journey, which began on 3 November, marks the first such trip dedicated to polar science.
