A close-up view of broken pack ice taken from the deck of the Kapitan Dranitsyn (1975)
A close-up view of broken pack ice, taken from the deck of the ice breaker Kapitan Dranitsyn (1975). The ice has some dirt in it from pollution or contact with land.
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.'
