Emily Osborne and Chelsea Wegner, members of a science party aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Healy, remove core samples from a sediment-retrieving device during research support operations in the Arctic, Tuesday, Sept. 5, 2017.
The device, a HAPS bottom corer, was named as a reference to a Danish exclamation, haps, which is used when something is grasped very quickly.
