The Cruise of the USCGC Northwind into the Polar Seas North of Siberia 1965.

In July 1965, Northwind (icebreaker), under the command of Captain Kingdrel N. Ayers, conducted an oceanographic survey between Greenland, Iceland, and Scotland and was the first western vessel to operate in the Kara Sea of the Soviet Union, for which she received the Coast Guard Unit Commendation with Operational Distinguishing Device. The (then) classified mission of Northwind was to attempt a transit of the Northeast Passage. The effort was not successful and caused a diplomatic incident between the U.S.S.R. and U.S.A.
