Resumen de Listening for icebergs
There are hidden dangers in the Arctic Ocean. Submerged icebergs and other drift ice can cause serious damage and environmental disasters if they collide with ships or oil platforms. But soon people may be able to hear them coming. That's the idea behind SenIs, an ice-monitoring system being developed by Norwegian firm Kongsberg. The plan is to install a fixed array of sensors roughly 200 meters under the surface of the sea that will use sonar to listen out for ice on the move. With northern seas opening up to industrial activity, there is a growing need to monitor drift ice to reduce the risk of oil spills and other environmental accidents.
