ARCTIC OCEAN – Dr. Craig Lee of the Applied Physics Laboratory at the University of Washington, Seattle, poses for a photo Wednesday, Oct. 3, 2018, about 715 miles north of Barrow, Alaska, in the Arctic. Lee is the lead scientist aboard the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Healy (WAGB-20) in the Arctic. Lee is leading a team of about 30 scientists and engineers studying stratified ocean dynamics and how environmental factors affect the water below the ice surface for the Office of Naval Research. The Healy, which is homeported in Seattle, is one of two ice breakers in U.S. service and is the only military ship dedicated to conducting research in the Arctic. (NyxoLyno Cangemi/U.S. Coast Guard)
