In the spring of 2011 a team of scientists aboard the Coast Guard icebreaker Healy discovered a massive plankton bloom, one of the largest ever observed in the Arctic, created under the sea ice. In 2014, a team returned to the region to study the phenomenon and record their surroundings.
This video is part of the Arctic Spring project, through which a group of artists and scientists are combining efforts to observe and document how the climate is rapidly affecting the ecosystem in the Arctic Ocean.
