The Planetary Lake Lander Project is developing technology to explore the depths of two mountain lakes in the central Andes of Chile. One of the lakes is crystal clear, while the water of the other is brown with silt, thus furnishing different challenges.
A major goal of PLLP is to study the effects of climate change on the lakes, but another goal is to develop techniques of remote robotic exploration, and possibly even technology, that could be used to explore the methane lakes of Saturn's moon Titan.
