The New Year’s Swing

This image of researchers swinging over newly formed pancake ice in Marguerite Bay, Antarctica, is one of 12 beautiful photographs featured in the WHOI 2017 wall calendar. The images, taken at fieldwork locations around the world, highlight the depth and breadth of WHOI ocean science research and education. Here, WHOI biologists participating in an international program on the changing Antarctic Ocean ecosystem are measuring the amount of algae growing in the ice. Be inspired each month by the important global research being conducted at WHOI! The calendars are available in the WHOI online store.(Photo by Carin Ashjian, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution)
