Amundsen sets sail to measure climate change
The Canadian Coast Guard icebreaker, the Amundsen, set sail from Quebec City for another season of Arctic research that will take 40 crew and some 42 scientists across almost the entire coastal Canadian Arctic. Scientists aboard the ship this year will set up a series of ocean observatories as they sail through the Northwest Passage and back again. Climate change is what's driving the interest in the Arctic.
