Hydrophone Array Lowered From Research Vessel

by Edward Dunlap

Crisp white equipment contrasts against the slate-grey sky of a Northwest Territories morning. A complex hydrophone array hangs from a sturdy crane arm on the deck of a research vessel, its metallic cylinders catching the flat, diffuse light of a brief arctic summer. Fine rain streaks horizontally across the frame, blurring the distant tree line and the open water below. The vessel sits anchored near a launch site where a weather balloon's tether lies coiled on the wet deck. Heavy cables drape over the railing, leading the eye down toward the churning surface. Raindrops bead on the polished steel housing of the sensors, reflecting the overcast sky. at the edge is a single rivet on the crane's pivot point, gleaming wet against the dull grey metal.
