General view of the loose pack ice, taken from the bridge of the ice breaker Kapitan Dranitsyn (1980)

A general view of the loose ice pack in Queen Maud Gulf or Victoria Strait taken looking forward over the bows from the bridge roof of the ice breaker Kapitan Dranitsyn (1980). Passengers can be seen watching the ice from over the bows. The water is clear enough that the submerged ice appears aquamarine in colour.
