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.
Eric Schmidt, the former CEO of Google, has announced funding for a project deploying autonomous boat drones to navigate the treacherous waters of Antarctica's Amundsen Sea. The initiative, in partnership with Saildrone, aims to map the seafloor and collect data on ocean currents amid climate change concerns. This effort builds on Schmidt's ongoing interest in ocean exploration.
