Norway sends deep-sea drone 20,000 feet down to uncover hidden ocean secrets

SMRTR summary

Norway launched its first deep-sea robot submarine, the Hugin Superior, sending it nearly 20,000 feet underwater in the Norwegian Sea to map unexplored ocean regions. Previously relying on private companies for such surveys, Norway now owns this advanced vehicle, which uses sonar, cameras, and chemical sensors to produce highly detailed seabed maps. The data collected will support future decisions about managing deep-sea environments responsibly.
