Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 52, No. 2, pg. 50:
Each buoy is connected to a 330-foot line that carries a sound beacon to be suspended in the ocean. At each test site, WHOI engineers John Kemp and Peter Koski drilled a hole through 5- to 10-foot-thick ice, laid out a buoy on the ice, lowered the beacon through the hole, and set the buoy on top of the hole. Then they got back on the plane and flew to the next site on the ice to set the next buoy.
