An unmanned, hurricane-proof Saildrone vessel has begun a treacherous 22,000km journey around Antarctica, departing from Hobart in the name of climate science. The autonomous craft is designed to withstand extreme conditions while collecting ocean and climate data from one of the planet's harshest marine environments, drawing attention for the ambition of its circumnavigation.
Why now: The launch of an unmanned vessel attempting a full circumnavigation of Antarctica for climate research is a striking scientific first drawing wide interest.
