    Two technicians in red survival suits and gray hard hats are working on a yellow underwater glider (UUV) mounted in a white deployment cradle on what appears to be the deck of a research or naval vessel. The glider is equipped with a black dorsal fin, sensors, and an orange antenna mast at the rear. Text visible on one suit references 'APL' (Applied Physics Laboratory), suggesting an oceanographic research context.

    ARCTIC OCEAN – Luc Rainville (right) attaches a wing to a sea glider while Sam Brenner holds it in place on the stern of the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Healy (WAGB-20) Thursday, Sept. 20, 2018, approximately 100 miles northwest of Barrow, Alaska, in the Chukchi Sea. Sea gliders are semi-autonomous submarines used to measure water conductivity, temperature, depth, oxygen and other measurements in the Arctic Ocean. Once deployed, the sea gliders are controlled by pilots in the Applied Physics Lab at the University of Washington in Seattle. Approximately 30 scientists are aboard the Healy to study stratified ocean dynamics and how environmental factors affect the water below the ice surface for the Office of Naval Research. The Healy is one of two ice breakers in U.S. service and is the only military ship dedicated to conducting ice research in the Arctic.
