    A U.S. Coast Guard member stands alone on a vast snow and ice-covered landscape, silhouetted against a warm orange sunset or sunrise sky. The individual is wearing a red vest labeled 'U.S. COAST GUARD' over cold-weather gear and appears to be carrying a firearm or equipment at their side. The scene conveys an Arctic or polar environment, likely during a patrol or operational mission.

    ARCTIC OCEAN – U.S. Coast Guard Petty Officer 1st Class Lisa Densmore stands polar bear guard Sunday, Sept. 30, 2018, about 350 miles northeast of Barrow, Alaska. Densmore is a crew member aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Healy (WAGB-20) and is armed with a rifle to protect crew members and scientists on the ice from polar bears. The Healy is underway in the Arctic with about 100 crew members and 30 scientists to deploy sensors and semi-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, which is homeported in Seattle, is one of two ice breakers in U.S. service and is the only military ship dedicated to conducting research in the Arctic.
