South Pole reprieve

Advertiser Staff

Bruce Asato • The Honolulu Advertiser
The Coast Guard icebreaker Polar Sea, returning from six months at the South Pole in Operation Deep Freeze, made a port call at Honolulu Harbor last week, docking at Aloha Tower's Pier 9.

While in Honolulu, the crew took the opportunity to stock up on food stores. Here, Coast Guard members from the Honolulu station help load cases of food onto the icebreaker.
