We've started our homeward journey! Gradually leaving the main science area behind while pausing for CTD's on the way.

Som den första i världen har nu den svenska förarlösa undervattensfarkosten Ran tagit sig in under Thwaitesglaciären. Polarforskaren Anna Wåhlin gläds åt nya och spännande data.

We have reached Thwaites! Storm brewing for tomorrow. We have a few hours for charting the seafloor until it breaks.

All ready for the NBP19-02 cruise now after two weeks of preparation in Punta Arenas.

In the winter of 2019, polar researchers from the University of Gothenburg will participate in a research expedition to the Amundsen Sea. The expedition is part of a U.S.-British research programme called the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration.
