Scientific Data Collection in Greenland
A 'CTD' unit being lowered into Sermilik Fjord by scientists from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute is seen through the porthole of the MY Arctic Sunrise. The unit has a number of sensors attached, measuring salinity, temperature and depth data, also added are a dissolved oxygen sensor, a turbidity sensor and an acoustic doppler current profiler which measure velocity of currents. Scientists on board the Greenpeace ship are studying Helheim glacier which displays alarming signs of increased melt and flow rate.

Glaciology Research in Eastern Greenland
In summer 2009, the MY Arctic Sunrise sails to the Arctic to document the dire effects climate change has on one of the most fragile environments in the world. Independent scientists use the ship, helicopter, boats and assistance of the crew, to collect data and research the impacts of climate change. During this second section of the three-part tour, scientists conduct important glaciology research in Eastern Greenland, on Helheim and Kangerdlugsuaq glaciers and their fjords. The team then transits north to work on the Nioghalvfjerdsfjorde Glacier (known as '79 Glacier.')
