Science knows little about the Antarctic seas and scientists want to find out what's happening in this untouched, hostile habitat. But the problem is how do you get there without ruining the environment you want to investigate?

The answer is a 7 metre long robot submarine. It's being designed by a team of people that includes Dr Miles Peabody and will travel under the ice into these uncharted waters, laden with scientific instruments. They hope to find out information about global warming and climate change.
