Cover Caption
A diver wearing a dry suit and helmet is lowered over
the side of the Russian research vessel Yakov Smirmnitskiy to inspect a
propeller which was damaged while underway in the Arctic ice pack. The hired
ship carried oceanographers from Texas A&M University investigating reports
of nuclear contamination in the icy waters of the Russian Arctic. See "Studies of nuclear contamination in the Russian
Arctic." (Photo by Matthew Colmer)
