Video Available: Peak into the Arctic

Jessica Robertson, U.S. Geological Survey Public Affairs Specialist

It has been awhile since my last post, but I have some updates! Since departing Healy, I miss the serenity of the Arctic but have almost fully adjusted to my land legs again and am right back in the hustle and bustle of things.

As promised, a compilation of b-roll footage from our trip on Healy is now available.

The first video, Breaking Ice, is a view from Healy of the surrounding Arctic sea ice. The second video, Overflight, was taken from the Canadian helicopter as it flies over Louis and Healy in the Arctic Ocean. The video Mooring Evolution was also taken from the Canadian helicopter, but this footage captures Louis and Healy pulling up alongside each other. The fourth video, titled Conductivity, Temperature, and Depth Profiler, shows the deployment of the CTD into the Arctic Ocean from Healy. This instrument collected water samples so scientists can study organisms in the Arctic Ocean and measure the speed of sound in the water.

Additional video, including interviews with scientists and the U.S. Coast Guard, will be available soon! So don’t forget to check back.

Until then,

Jessica Robertson
