Leg 3 departure!

On July 12, the Oshoro-Maru departed Nome, Alaska, U.S.A., for Leg 3 (open cruise).
Seventeen new members, including 10 open course students, got on board from Nome, giving a new atmosphere to the ship.
After the departure, the ship will head for the ice edge of the Chukchi Sea around 70°N while conducting observations and practical training on marine mammals and seabird visual inspection.
