Nathan (left) and Patrick McGuire, sons of WHOI associate scientist Jeff McGuire, welcome R/V Atlantis home to Woods Hole with the Lego models of the ship they made this summer. Both models include miniature replicas of the deep submergence vehicle Alvin. Atlantis returned on Sept. 6 after more than four years away. During that time, it sailed more than 104,000 miles and conducted 60 science expeditions, and Alvin made 475 dives. Also view video and a slideshow of Atlantis' return.

WELCOME HOME, ATLANTIS—
Nathan (left) and Patrick McGuire, sons of WHOI geophysicist Jeff McGuire, welcome the research vessel Atlantis home to Woods Hole this summer. They brought along LEGO models of the ship that they made, which included miniature replicas of the deep submergence vehicle Alvin. Atlantis returned on Sept. 6, 2010, after more than four years away. During that time, it sailed more than 104,000 miles and conducted 60 science expeditions, and Alvin made 475 dives. In December, Atlantis and Alvin sailed to the Gulf of Mexico to investigate environmental impacts in the aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
