June 2006 luxury eco-cruise vessel Spirit of Oceanus encountered multi-year ice in the Bering Sea
![Page 11: Kathleen Cole Sea Ice Program Leader National Weather Service Anchorage, Alaska for Sea Ice Workshop 19 September 2011 The “other” stuff we do…](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032805/56649ef65503460f94c0aa40/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
