We have phenomenal photographic talent within the ICESCAPE science party. Here are some images scientists snapped before we left Dutch Harbor, Unalaska, Alaska, on June 15.

 

 

 

Two PenAir Saab 340 twin-propeller airplanes transported the science party nearly 800 miles from Anchorage to Dutch Harbor. The second plane stopped twice to refuel in King Salmon and Cold Bay because it was so heavy with scientists and luggage! (Photo by Jim Swift)
