Summary
10 days in glacier bay, 3 days on the Karluk, 7 days on the Nunatak.
A phantom ROV was deployed from the Nunatak, looking at glacial discharge
streams and morainal banks of tidewater glaciers. The Klein side-scan sonar
from the Karluk was used imaging gulleys and chutes on a pro-delta face in
Queen Inlet and ice gouges on the moraine at the mouth of Muir Inlet.
Notes
Nunatak (National Park Service vessel)
