Casualties
| Date | Type | Details |
|---|---|---|
| 15 Jan 2024 | Other | Submersible Ran, which was operated from icebreaker Araon, disappeared in January 2024 during a dive. It was collecting close-up imaging and data of the Thwaites’ underside when the researchers lost contact. The machine never resurfaced at its pre-programmed return point. A search operation was launched using acoustic search equipment, helicopters, and drones, but without success. As of 15 February ARAON was back at Lyttleton, New Zealand. |
