Betty Bunce takes a break in the Atlantis II main lab during a 1977 cruise. Once she broke the woman-at-sea barrier, Betty spent a lot of time on ships, often as chief scientist. She was also the first woman to serve as co-chief scientist for the Deep Sea Drilling Program in the Indian Ocean aboard Glomar Challenger Leg 24 in 1974. (Photo by Vicky Cullen)
