Mounting evidence that the Southern Ocean is warming more rapidly than expected has fuelled interest in temperature dynamics and sea-ice formation rates near the South Pole. But thick sea ice cover makes it virtually impossible to collect data by conventional methods such as buoyant floats and research ships.
