The alley forms a channel near one of the Antarctic Peninsula’s northernmost points. The sea is surrounded by ice chunks that are constantly shifting. Some of the pieces are about the size of a car, while others cover half a square mile. Simply getting the boat with the submersible there was a huge challenge.
