#Antarctic Ocean | Development

#Antarctic Ocean | Southern ocean | Encircles Antarctica | Waters south of 60° S latitude | Covers ca. 21.96 million square kilometers | The fourth largest ocean basin | Antarctic Circumpolar Current (AAC) flows through it | ACC significantly influences global ocean circulation by connecting Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans | Average depth of approximately 3,270 meters (10,728 feet) | Maximum depth of 7,434 meters (24,390 feet) at Factorian Deep

#1550nm LiDAR | Advantages: safety, range, and performance in various environmental conditions | Enhanced Eye Safety: absorbed more efficiently by cornea and lens of eye, preventing light from reaching sensitive retina | Longer Detection Range | Improved Performance in Adverse Weather Conditions such as as fog, rain, or dust | Reduced Interference from Sunlight and Other Light Sources | More expensive due to complexity and lower production volumes of their components

#Cryosphere

#Humboldt Cable project | Initiated by Chilean and Singaporean companies | Aiming to link Oceania, South America, and Antarctica | Reducing reliance on satellite internet
