AST3 Roberto Ochoa is hoisted down from USGC MH-6567 helicopter onto the Royal Danish navy vessel HDMS Knud Rasmussen.
USCGC Campbell ventured into Disko Bay with the HDMS Knud Rasmussen for joint helicopter training exercises on Sept. 6, 2020.
Disko Bay is known for its heavy concentration of large icebergs calving off the Jacobshavn Glacier.
The Jacobshavn Glacier is the primary contributor to icebergs in Baffin Bay and the Labrador Sea.
CGC Campbell safely navigated the heavy concentration of floating ice, icebergs the size of professional sports stadiums,
and launched their Over the Horizon cutter boat for training. CGC Campbell also launched the MH-6567 Dolphin helicopter
to conduct hoist, rescue basket and landings and take-offs from the Knud Rasmussen.
