PRUDHOE BAY, ALASKA (March 11, 2022) - Ben Evans, right, and Dave Whelihan, researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Lincoln Laboratory Advanced Undersea Systems and Technology Group, discuss plans to deploy of an array of tools to study the conditions around fracturing Arctic ice during Ice Exercise (ICEX) 2022. Evans and Whelihan will take their equipment to Ice Camp Queenfish, which is built on an ice sheet floating 160 nautical miles off the coast of Alaska in the Arctic Ocean. The camp consists of sleeping tents for about 60 personnel, a dining tent, command center and approximately 2,500-foot-long runway for aircraft. ICEX 2022 is a three-week exercise that allows the Navy to assess its operational readiness in the Arctic, increase experience in the region, advance understanding of the Arctic environment, and continue to develop relationships with other services, allies and partner organizations.
