NOAA Ocean Exploration & Research
Arctic Landscape
The beautifully dramatic Arctic landscape spans across the horizon.
From July 2 – August 10, 2016, 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; invertebrate and fish seafloor (benthic) communities; as well as conduct observations of marine mammals and seabirds.
