A Tribute To Our First and Best Glider

Autonomous Gliders in the Antarctic

The first glider we ever deployed remains our most dependable.

The view looking down to a lower deck of a ship and the ocean from an upper deck. An inflatable boat is alongside the ship, and a yellow glider in the water on the other side of the inflatable boat. Several people are in the boat and on the ship, attaching a rope to the glider so it can be lifted out of the water. The crew of the M/Y Hanse Explorer, alongside U.S. AMLR personnel, prepare to lift AMLR01 out of the water. Credit: NOAA Fisheries

What Is a "Five-Star Resort" for Antarctic Krill?
