Pioneering drones explore sea pack ice puzzle in Antarctica
Drones may help solve one of the big scientific puzzles in Antarctica, and that's what's happening to the sea pack ice in winter.Despite big shifts in climate and warming waters, Antarctic sea ice is not contracting - in fact, if anything, it's increasing in size.Dr. Guy Williams from...
