Boaty McBoatface, the UK's favourite yellow submarine, has returned from its first major science expedition.

The vehicle was used in the Antarctic to map the movement of deep, cold water as it moves away from the White Continent towards the Atlantic Ocean.

Scientists say this flow of water plays an important role in helping to regulate the Earth's climate system.

Boaty made a total of three dives, reaching down to 4,000m below the surface.

And by all accounts, it acquired a remarkable set of new data.

Sort of looks like a big bomb that were dropped by the B-52's.

Being a "Yellow Submarine": it should have been named Ringo!

The REAL Boaty McBoatFace was renamed the RRS Sir David Attenborough. This thing is an impostor.

There's an online petition to have Sir David Attenborough renamed Boaty McBoatface.
