In the final days before field research opportunities went sideways following a global pandemic, Pedro de la Torre (NTNU) and I got a shot at deploying a prototype of the ice tethered observatory.

Here I'm standing on 1 m thick sea ice over 300 m deep ocean outside the #Inuit community of #Qikiqtarjuaq #BaffinIsland.

With these instruments, we measure solar irradiance, sea-ice thickness, and acoustic profiles of fish and plankton as they develop under the ice during #springbloom.
