Coast Guard Petty Officers 3rd Class Ashley Harshell and Danielle Ray look over a collection of paintings, after they were set to dry on a stairwell during a morale event held in the hangar of the Coast Guard Cutter Healy, while the crew was underway in the Arctic, Saturday, Sept. 2, 2017. Over 15 crew members participated in the event through the evening, many others unable to participate as they were either sleeping or working as part of the crew’s 24-hour support of scientific research being conducted aboard.
