Caption from Polar Discovery: In the pre-dawn hour, marine science technician chief Mark Rieg prepares to put the video plankton recorder into the water as marine biologist Phil Alatalo, from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, watches. The computer inside the VPR records video of plankton in the ocean "This particular instrument is very good at capturing the very tiny things," says Alatalo.
