In graphics: Aurora Borealis polar ship

European ship designers are currently working on what is billed as the
"most
advanced polar research vessel in the world."
Aurora Borealis, as it is called, is set for launch in 2014 and promises
to
shed light on a host of polar mysteries. Explore more about the ship's
distinctive features using the links below.
