Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 44, No. 3, Pg. 31:
WHOI oceanographer Fiamma Straneo deployed a mooring in the ice-covered Hudson Strait to measure the flow of water through this climatically significant gateway to the Atlantic Ocean. Anchored to the seafloor 180 meters (590 feet) deep, the mooring line held a variety of instruments, including an experimental device called the Arctic Winch to obtain critical measurements in the top 50 meters (164 feet), where less-dense fresh water flows just below the ice.
