Surveying Arctic Sea Ice
Two U.S. Coast Guard members are being transported by crane from U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Healy onto a piece of multi-year ice. This was during a scientific expedition to map the Arctic seafloor. The expedition was a joint effort using two ships, Healy and the Canadian Coast Guard Ship Louis S. St. Laurent.

U.S. and Canadian Ships in Arctic Ocean
Helicopter view of U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Healy (bottom left) stopped in the Arctic Ocean as Canadian Coast Guard Ship Louis S. St. Laurent (top right) comes alongside it. The ships are coming together because the crews are planning to meet and learn the operations of the other ship. This was during a scientific expedition to map the Arctic seafloor.
