    Coast Guard Cutter Healy (WAGB 20) crewmembers conduct ice rescue training before establishing an ice station while operating in the Arctic Ocean, Sept. 18, 2019. Prior to allowing scientists and the rest of the crew on the ice floe, Healy's ice rescue team conducts training and establishes a safe area. U.S. Coast Guard photo by Ens. Trevor Layman.

    The image shows what appears to be a Coast Guard ice rescue training exercise or actual rescue operation on a frozen body of water.

    A large group of personnel dressed in cold-weather gear and orange survival suits pose for a group photo on sea ice in front of a U.S. Coast Guard icebreaker vessel numbered '20'. The ship is red and white with 'U.S. COAST GUARD' prominently painted on its hull, along with the Coast Guard emblem. The setting appears to be an Arctic or Antarctic environment based on the frozen terrain and overcast sky.
    A team of researchers or technicians in cold-weather survival suits are operating scientific drilling or sampling equipment on a frozen Arctic or Antarctic ice surface. They are gathered around a cylindrical instrument suspended from a metal tripod structure, appearing to deploy or retrieve it. The overcast sky and flat, snow-covered terrain suggest a polar field expedition.
    The image shows a massive wall of broken sea ice or glacier ice towering over the deck of what appears to be an icebreaker or polar research vessel. An orange spherical buoy or marker is visible embedded among the ice chunks. At least two crew members wearing hard hats are visible at the bottom of the frame on the ship's deck, providing scale that emphasizes the enormous size of the ice formation.
    A panoramic maritime scene captured from the deck of a large vessel, showing a dramatic sunset behind rugged mountainous coastline. The sun is setting low on the horizon, casting golden reflections across calm dark waters. A second vessel is visible in the middle distance near the coastline.
