    Three personnel in cold-weather survival gear walk across a frozen ice surface in front of a U.S. Coast Guard icebreaker vessel marked with the number 20. The individuals are equipped with safety equipment including immersion suits, life vests, and helmets, and are carrying poles, a sled, and other gear. The scene depicts an operational deployment onto Arctic or polar sea ice from the ship.

    ARCTIC OCEAN – U.S. Coast Guard Petty Officer 3rd Class Shannon Eubanks (left), Petty Officer 1st Class David Edelson (middle) and scientist Jeremy Wilkinson walk on the ice to conduct an ice survey Tuesday, Oct. 2, 2018, about 715 miles north of Barrow, Alaska. Eubanks and Edelson are stationed aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Healy (WAGB-20) out of Seattle, and as members of the ice rescue team, they conduct surveys of the ice conditions to ensure its safe for members of the crew and science party aboard the ship. The Healy is underway in the Arctic with about 100 crew members and 30 scientists to deploy sensors and autonomous submarines 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 research in the Arctic. (NyxoLyno Cangemi/U.S. Coast Guard)
