The NOAA buoy program operates dozens of buoys, which float serenely in the open ocean and regularly report weather and ocean observations. A few lucky buoys are equipped with panoramic cameras. Buoypix is a bot that regularly posts the pictures taken by these buoys. Buoypix speaks in the voice of the buoy, offering a glimpse of the weather in a faraway place.
