To pump seawater for beryllium filtering on sea ice a gas-powered generator (red) powers a pump (in gray box.) A hose reaches into the hole drilled into the ice, with its end affixed to a portable CTD unit at the selected sampling depth. Pumped water flows out through the short red hose, through a beryllium filter canister and flow meter, finally draining out onto the surface of the ice. Near the USCGC Healy at the Lomonosov Ridge in the Arctic Ocean. 89.30°, -176.52°.
