While out doing a beach cleanup, a boat was found with an iceberg in view from shore in the Westfjords of Iceland. Pierre Dupont's group was walking on the beach on Setpember 11, 2024 on the land called Reykjanes (Strandir) in the Westfjords in Iceland. They were collecting trash on the beach and they found the boat. It was a nice discovery.

The boat was decorated during a University of Washington's School of Aquatic and Fishery Science Open House in Seattle in 2023
