Update It's getting late in the season. The sea ice is filling and and we're finding it's almost solid in areas we were able to easily get to just a few weeks ago. ## Meet the Science Support Team Let's meet the rest of the amazing support staff that makes the science possible on the R/V NBP!

Update It’s funny how quickly the weather can change here. Just overnight it went from sunny and relatively warm-ish to snowing, foggy, and -30F with 60+mph winds. I was going to go outside today, but when I couldn’t push the door open against the wind I figured I should just take photos through

Meet the Scientists: Dr. Alex Fraser Post-doctoral fellow at the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science ### What do they do? Alex’s main research focus is on sea ice and coastal polynyas, which are key areas in

Today we’re back to the expected, cold, blustery, and snowing weather; it feels like -13F with the 57mph winds. However, yesterday evening we had calm winds and clear skies, so after another CTD, the UAV team got in a couple more drone flights. The crew moved the ship right up against the sea ice so
