Arctic West Ron Weil Tualatin, Ore. Acrylic In the summer, during Arctic West exer- cises, the Coast Guard transports scien- tists to the Arctic Ocean where they study the atmospheric and ecological conditions of the polar ice cap. Here, three scientists place an ice buoy that will drift with the ice and transmit back data from its location. To the left, in a yellow dry suit, a rescue swimmer is on hand in the event that anyone should accidentally fall into the frigid waters. To the swimmers lef
