A prototype of a robot built to access underwater areas where Antarctic ice shelves meet land is lowered through the ice during a field test north of Alaska in March. JPL is developing the concept, called IceNode, to take melt-rate measurements that would improve the accuracy of sea level rise projections.<\/div>\n

Conducted through the U.S. Navy Arctic Submarine Laboratory\u2019s biennial Ice Camp, this field test marked IceNode\u2019s first in a polar environment. The team hopes to one day deploy a fleet of the autonomous robots beneath Antarctic ice shelves.<\/div>\n
