2020 Wall Calendar caption, February:
This image of icebergs at Rothera Station in Antarctica was taken during the final cruise of the Diapycnal and Isopycnal Mixing Experiment in the Southern Ocean (DIMES) project aboard the British icebreaker RRS James Clark Ross. This 5-year joint US/UK field program was aimed at studying mixing in the Southern Ocean—a critical regulator of Earth’s climate processes—and examining connections between the circumpolar current and the three large ocean basins (Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian) immediately to the north.

WHOI engineer Brian Guest took this photo of icebergs at at Rothera Station, Antarctica in the summer of 2014. Guest was part of a team of scientists and technicians on the final cruise of the DIMES (Diapycnal and Isopycnal Mixing in the Southern Ocean) project aboard the British icebreaker RSS James Clark Ross. The 5-year project was led partly by WHOI physical oceanographer Jim Ledwell to study mixing in the Southern Ocean and connections between the circumpolar current and the three large ocean basins immediately to the norththe Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian.
