A robotic float has successfully measured temperature and salinity beneath East Antarctic ice shelves, marking the first oceanographic transect in this region. The float traveled 300 kilometers over two-and-a-half years, collecting nearly 200 profiles of the ocean, providing valuable data on the conditions affecting ice shelf stability and potential sea level rise.
