Research station (Marion Dufresne)

The Marion Dufresne is a Swedish-built research vessel used primarily by France for scientific missions, especially in Antarctica. Operating as a mobile laboratory, it supports scientists studying glaciers, climate change, marine life, and oceanography. The ship is equipped with advanced technology to collect data while navigating remote and harsh environments. Its ability to reach and work in polar regions allows researchers to better understand Earth's climate system and environmental changes. Essentially, the Marion Dufresne acts as a floating platform that enables scientific exploration and data collection in some of the most challenging and least accessible parts of the world.
