July 15, 2020: Arctic Landscape

The beautifully dramatic Arctic landscape spans across the horizon, seen at the start of The Hidden Ocean 2016: Chukchi Borderlands expedition. During this expedition, an international and multi-disciplinary team of scientists, media personnel, and educators sailed to the Arctic's Chukchi Borderlands onboard the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Healy. They applied an ecosystem perspective to investigate microbial communities in sea ice, water, and seafloor environments; water column (planktonic) organisms; and invertebrate and fish seafloor (benthic) communities and conducted observations of marine mammals and seabirds.
