Coast Guard Studies Icebergs at Home Near Greenland Cap
The S. S. Marion, with the coast guard oceanographic team, lies thirty five miles off Cape Walsingham at Baffin Land anchored near the glacier where Dequervain began his Greenland traverse. Heavy Arctic packs block the coast while the glacier advances about twenty feet daily. Shells from the Marion rattled down growlers, and foul weather hindered inland exploration. The expedition aims to reveal iceberg formation rates and transport into trans Atlantic lanes.
