Sub investigates melting glacier

Pine Island Glacier in the West Antarctic has been melting. If the larger West Antarctic ice sheet melts, global sea levels will rise significantly. Scientists have wondered if the Pine Island Glacier flow could be a harbinger of further melting. A robot sub sent beneath the glacier to explore what's happening has made an interested discovery.
