Image of The Day caption:
In between launches of underwater vehicles in July 2007, Peter Winsor and researchers on the Arctic Gakkel Vents Expedition lowered the conductivity-temperature-depth probe in order to look for telltale chemical signals of hydrothermal vents. A fogbow arcs past Winsor's head and down toward the pot of fluid seafloor gold.

WHOI physical oceanographer Peter Winsor peers over the massive bow of the icebreaker Oden as an instrument called a "CTD" is dangled into the ice-covered Arctic Ocean depths. Arching behind his head is a fogbow, a common Arctic meteorological phenomenon caused by sunlight refracting water droplets in a fog bank. WHOI scientists led a major Arctic expedition in the summer of 2007. See story on
