    Petty Officer 1st Class Sean Carrillo signals the crane operator to position the last mooring of the mission for deployment Sept. 13, 2016 on the aft deck in the Chukchi Sea. Underway for its second mission, Cutter Healy embarked a team of researchers from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC-San Diego, and the Office of Naval Research who are deploying an array of acoustic bottom moorings to collect data on how climate change and decreased ice coverage is affecting the Arctic Ocean.

    A polar bear is swimming through open, choppy blue-gray water with its head and part of its back visible above the surface. The bear is facing the camera directly, with wet fur and a streamlined body position indicating active swimming. The image captures the animal in its natural aquatic behavior in what appears to be Arctic or sub-Arctic waters.
    A polar bear is swimming through open, choppy blue-gray water with only its head visible above the surface. The bear's white fur contrasts sharply against the dark water, and its black nose and small ears are clearly visible. The image captures the animal mid-swim, likely traversing a significant stretch of open Arctic or sub-Arctic water.
    A polar bear is swimming in open, choppy blue-gray water with only its head and part of its back visible above the surface. The bear is facing directly toward the camera, with its white fur wet and flattened against its head. The image captures the animal mid-swim in what appears to be arctic or sub-arctic open water.

    Two individuals wearing red U.S. Coast Guard survival suits are observing a polar bear swimming in open Arctic waters from the deck of a vessel. An iceberg is visible in the background on the horizon. The foreground figures are out of focus, drawing attention to the polar bear in the mid-distance.
    A polar bear is perched on a small, isolated ice floe floating in open dark blue ocean water. The ice floe is notably small relative to the surrounding sea, displaying a vivid turquoise-blue color beneath the waterline. The scene conveys a sense of isolation and vulnerability, with no land or larger ice mass visible.
    A single polar bear stands on a small, isolated ice floe surrounded by open dark ocean water. Several other ice floes of varying sizes are visible in the background, scattered across the choppy sea. The scene is set under an overcast gray sky, conveying a stark and isolated Arctic environment.
    A polar bear stands on a small, isolated ice floe floating in open dark Arctic waters. The ice floe is notably small relative to the bear, appearing bright blue-white in color. Additional ice formations are visible in the distant background along the horizon.
    A crew of four workers on the deck of a vessel are handling rigging equipment in rough, cold ocean conditions. They are wearing orange immersion suits and hard hats, suggesting a maritime safety or recovery operation. A large yellow buoy or float is visible in the water nearby, likely being retrieved or deployed.
    A smiling crew member wearing a blue hard hat, orange life vest, black gloves, and glasses is holding a rope or line aboard what appears to be a Coast Guard vessel. At least two other crew members are partially visible in the foreground, one wearing a yellow hard hat marked 'TOF' and another wearing a blue hard hat. The background shows open ocean water, suggesting an active maritime operation.
    Two workers in orange survival/immersion suits and blue hard hats are handling a cylindrical scientific or technical instrument on what appears to be the deck of a research or coast guard vessel. Both individuals are wearing personal protective equipment appropriate for cold marine environments, including face coverings and safety glasses. The scene suggests an offshore or at-sea operation involving equipment deployment or maintenance.
    A smiling worker is photographed in cold, snowy conditions wearing full cold-weather personal protective equipment. He appears to be on an outdoor worksite, likely a maritime or industrial environment based on his gear. Snow or rain is visibly falling in the image.
    Four crew members are standing on the deck of a vessel in cold, overcast maritime conditions. They are wearing safety gear including hard hats and immersion/survival suits with orange life vests. A pulley/block and rigging lines are visible overhead, suggesting active deck operations.
    A male worker wearing a white hard hat with 'TRAXXAS' branding and stickers is closely inspecting or working on a mechanical assembly involving bolts, clamps, and metal components. He is dressed in a gray jacket with red accents and appears to be concentrating intently on the equipment in front of him. The image is taken from a low, close-up angle emphasizing the detail of both the worker's face and the machinery.
    A man wearing a blue hard hat with a red WHOI (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) sticker and a red-and-black survival/immersion suit is holding a Sea-Bird Electronics oceanographic instrument on his shoulder. He appears to be on the deck of a research vessel, likely preparing to deploy or retrieve the scientific equipment. His focused expression and professional gear suggest he is an experienced marine researcher or technician.
    An older man with a white beard stands on the deck of a vessel in what appears to be Arctic or Antarctic waters, wearing cold-weather safety gear. He is dressed in an orange and blue immersion/survival suit, a blue hard hat, a black balaclava, and sunglasses. Icebergs are visible in the background on the open ocean.
    A vivid turquoise-blue iceberg floats in a dark, choppy open ocean under an overcast gray sky. The iceberg displays characteristic blue coloration indicating dense, compressed glacial ice, with wave action actively crashing against its base. Additional small ice formations are faintly visible on the distant horizon.
    A worker wearing a blue MSA hard hat labeled 'L-NIÑO' and an orange safety vest reading 'COAST GUARD' is signaling with a raised fist, likely directing crane or lifting operations. The scene appears to be an industrial or maritime environment, with a large orange structure and a chain visible in the background. A second worker in a red jacket and blue hard hat is partially visible in the background.
    A group of personnel wearing orange life vests and blue hard hats are gathered on what appears to be a vessel deck in snowy, overcast conditions. One individual stands out wearing a white hard hat labeled 'MOM' in black letters. At least one person is visibly wearing a 'U.S. Coast Guard' labeled vest, suggesting this is an official maritime operation.
