CLEAN : Scientists launch unprecedented Antarctic research mission

The video discusses a scientific expedition to the islands surrounding Antarctica, highlighting the unique scientific opportunities and challenges involved. The expedition aims to gather novel data on the Southern Ocean and its islands, which serve as indicators of environmental changes. The journey is ambitious, covering the entire Southern Ocean in one season, and faces challenges such as severe storms. The research is significant due to the lack of comprehensive data on these regions, making the expedition both novel and exciting.
