Petty Officer 3rd Class Cameron Simpson, a boatswain's mate aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Polar Star, shows off his ugly sweater for the cutter's holiday party Dec. 24, 2014. The crew of Coast Guard Cutter Polar Star from Coast Guard Base Seattle will head to McMurdo Sound in support the U.S. Antarctic Program and the National Science Foundation. This mission will require the cutter’s crew to break through more 12 miles of ice in McMurdo Sound, sometimes as much as 10 feet in thickness, to resupply McMurdo Science Station.
