    A scientific or remotely operated underwater instrument is being deployed or retrieved via crane cables over icy Arctic or Antarctic waters. The octagonal metal-framed device is suspended above the water surface near a large ice floe. Multiple cables including black, red, and yellow lines are attached to the equipment.

    Coast Guard Personnel aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Sycamore lift a DESMI "Polar Bear"?ン from the Arctic Ocean after a Spilled Oil Recovery System exercise near Barrow, Alaska, Aug. 2, 2012. Retrieving the skimmer marked the end of the three-day oil recovery systems exercise, the first of its kind in the Arctic Ocean, that was designed to test the suitability of new equipment in the extreme environment.
