Ice floes and loose pack ice, taken from the bridge of the Kapitan Dranitsyn (1975).
A view of ice floes with loose pack ice in between, taken from the bridge of the ice breaker Kapitan Dranitsyn (1975). The bows are at the bottom of the photograph where people are looking at the ice. The shadow of the ship can be seen on the ice.
On 25 July the ice breaker sailed though the Beaufort Sea, passing pack ice. Ivy Sharp spent time watching the ice: 'For the first time since I started this voyage the sun is shining. The cloudless sky and small ice packs make it a dazzling sight so I am now going up to the bridge to see what's what: the time is 645am.'
