MIT/WHOI graduate students Clay Kunz, Claire Willis, and Chris Murphy (winding the cable) jumped into the icebreaker Oden's helicopter with a transducer to try to locate Jaguar. The device was dangled by a cable into small openings in the ice and into the ocean to listen for sound signals from Jaguar. The team was flying back to the ship, when Kunz shouted, "I see it. I see it. I see it!" In an area where the ocean was 90 percent covered by ice, Jaguar had surfaced in a small pool of open water, slightly larger than itself. The helicopter landed on Oden. Kunz, Willis, and Murphy rushed out. Reves-Sohn and WHOI engineers Hanu Singh (left) and John Kemp (bottom), carrying hooks and ropes, climbed aboard. Helicopter pilot Sven Stenvall and Geir Akse (in black) flew off again to an ice floe next to the pool where Jaguar floated. They also brought along the orange lifesaving ring from Oden, which was also used during Jaguar's last cliffhanger of a recovery July 22.
