Dropped off by the Canadian icebreaker Louis S. St.-Laurent, scientists working in the Arctic's Canada Basin take their first steps on a giant floe of "multiyear ice"thick ice that survives summertime melting year after year. During a three-week mission aboard the Louis, the team collected data on the physical, chemical, and biological makeup of the frozen sea, the water column, and the basin's muddy floor.
