Ran, the seven metre-long, bright orange, autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) and a highly valued component of the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration (ITGC), has gone missing in action in West Antarctica. The AUV has contributed key data to ITGC, including the first data from under Thwaites ice shelf1 and high resolution maps that show where Thwaites Glacier was grounded in the past2. Ran disappeared the first weekend of February during an expedition to Thwaites Glacier with the South Korean icebreaker RV/IB Araon.
