In short
The RSV Nuyina icebreaker is part-way though its first mission dedicated solely to marine science.
Along with understanding the impacts of warmer waters in the Antarctic region, scientists have been recording the rich and unique biodiversity — parts of which could be new to science.
What's next?
As the planet warms, scientists say Antarctica's Denman Glacier is a region of concern for sea-level rise, making the Nuyina's mission crucial to informing how humans adapt to climate change.
How far East did they go? Could they go further East and find stranger things? What happens when you reach the Easternmost point?
