"When you fly out to the ice sheet in a helicopter, at first you see where the glacier meets the sea," said WHOI photographer Chris Linder, in a dispatch on the Polar Discovery Web site. "Next you see these deep crevasses. Then they disappear, and the ice becomes smooth. Finally, lakes appear on the ice sheet. These tiny blue jewels dot all the whiteness. And that’s where we landed. Right by one of those jewels."
