This is the top of the Conductivity Temperature Depth Profiler (CTD). When the instrument is lowered into the water and reaches a desired depth, an electronic signal is sent along these wires from the ship that closes the bottles and a water sample is collected.

This is an image of nilas, which is thin ice, in the Arctic Ocean. As nilas comes together like fingers, which is known as finger rafting, it creates thicker ice called young ice.
