Greenland’s mountains came into view this October from the stern of the WHOI-operated research vessel Knorr.  WHOI scientist Bob Pickart led a month-long expedition to the storm-swept Irminger Sea.  Pickart and colleagues wanted to learn about the origin of the flow of water through Denmark Strait, which slices between Greenland and Iceland.
