flag The UK is boosting Antarctic research with a £200 million icebreaker as the U.S. reduces its scientific presence.

flag The UK is expanding its leadership in Antarctic climate research as the U.S. scales back its scientific presence, with the £200 million RRS Sir David Attenborough set to depart for Antarctica. flag The icebreaker, operated by the British Antarctic Survey, will support studies on glacier melt, whale populations, underwater tsunamis, and ancient ice cores. flag Scientists express concern over the U.S. retreat, linked to climate change skepticism and funding cuts, which may allow other nations to increase influence in polar science. flag The vessel is expected to reach Rothera Research Station by late November and conduct research across multiple sites, supporting international efforts amid growing global climate threats.
