A polar bear is spotted on a multi-year ice floe where U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Healy (WAGB 20) crew and researchers conducted an on-ice equipment installation, in the Beaufort Sea, Aug. 13, 2023. Healy is the Coast Guard’s only icebreaker specifically designed for Arctic research, as well as the nation’s sole surface presence routinely operating in the Arctic Ocean.
