Iceberg Station

January 19, 2015

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 north—the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian.
