Airport crews and research technicians lined up their science gear on the tarmac of the Resolute Bay (Canada) airport for shipment to the Canadian Forces Station Alert and, ultimately, the ice-covered North Pole. In April 2007, WHOI researchers participated for the first time in the North Pole Environmental Observatory, deploying an Ice-Tethered Profiler through the ice in order to measure the properties and changes in the upper layers of the Arctic Ocean.
Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 45, No. 3, Pg. 2:
Scientific equipment, including an Ice-Tethered Profiler (the yellow instrument on the third pallet), is lined up on an icy runway in Resolute Bay, Canada, awaiting a flight to an ice camp/observatory near the North Pole in April 2007. WHOI researchers deployed the instrument atop a hole in a drifting ice floe. It measures properties of the ocean below and relays data back to WHOI via satellite.
