1 An underwater drone sails under ice floes in Arctic waters
-1.5C water
2 Drone detects thin ice above and rotates to punch a hole through the ice. Water is pumped to the surface
3 When the water hits the cold air it spreads over the ice sheet and freezes to create an extra thick layer of ice.
After re-icing, the drone returns to the charging hub and
then repeats the task
