Scientist Photographs Corals on Research Platform

by Carol Gregory

Rain-slicked metal surfaces of the Ho Chi Minh City research platform glisten under the harsh late morning sun. A researcher in a high-collared yellow rain jacket leans over a waterproofed survey station, their gloved hands adjusting a camera mounted on a rigid bracket. Salt spray coats the lens hood and the stainless steel railing in a fine, crystalline residue. Below the platform, the water churns with whitecaps from the monsoon winds, reflecting a blinding sheet of light onto the equipment. The photographer's focus is absolute, eyes narrowed behind safety goggles as they frame a cluster of vibrant orange and brown soft corals visible through the glass housing. One droplet of brine rests on the edge of the viewfinder, ready to slide down the black plastic housing.
