There Glacier acts as a home base where field crews head out in the zodiacs to conduct dive operations, penguin and seal samplings and take ice cores. Deck Force was invalu- able to the research: getting zodiacs underway on short notice, provid- ing coxswains and maintaining the zodiac ' s condition. The zodiacs gave the scientists access to all parts of a superstation and allowed free- dom of movement independent of each other and the ship.

Our Eyes in the Sky : we use our helos to spot suspect ships and find leads in the ice. Law Enforcement Ice Breaking Glacier is specifically designed for ice operations with her reinforced steel bow. a rounded hull and her heeling system to sally the ship if needed. Glac- ier breaks ice by running up on it where her immense weight will fissure the ice and displace it to an area of lower pressure. In thick ice, Glacier often must back and ram repeatedly until the ice finally gives way. Her unique design with her ten main diesel engines permit her to penetrate deep into the ice for scientific research to be conducted. Glacier is also used to break out bays and har- bors like McMurdo sound. Glaciers ice breaking prowess make .Antarctica accessible to scientific research. Glacier has also been called upon to act as part of the law enforcement arm of the Coast Guard in its ongoing war against drugs and contraband being shipped into the United States. In the past two years, we have made a number of boardings, spent weeks on patrol, and assisted local governments patrol their own waters for illegal activities.
