Drone Sailboat Embarks on 200-Day Solo Antarctic Voyage to Measure Southern Ocean CO2

A 23-foot autonomous drone sailboat departed Hobart on September 20 to undertake a 200-day solo circumnavigation of Antarctica. Shortly after departure, it encountered waves over 26 feet high and is currently collecting data on carbon dioxide levels in the Southern Ocean. This mission aims to enhance understanding of carbon dynamics in this remote region.
