Helicopter view Canadian Coast Guard Ship Louis S. St. Laurent (left) and U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Healy (right) on the Arctic Ocean. You can see the bubbler system working on Louis. The ships are coming together because the crews are planning to meet and learn the operations of the other ship. This was during a scientific expedition to map the Arctic seafloor.
