UK Leads Polar Climate Change Research as US Withdraws
The UK's new polar research vessel, the RRS Sir David Attenborough, will arrive at Rothera Research Station in Antarctica by late November to support dozens of climate change-related science projects.
The £200 million ($268 million) ship, launched in 2020, is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, including a helipad and laboratories, and will aid research on topics such as underwater tsunamis, glacier melt, and whale populations.
The RRS Sir David Attenborough will help advance climate change-linked science projects.
