A close-up view of a small flowering plant with small green leaves at the base growing through pebbles and mud on Beechey Island, Barrow Strait.

Ivy sharp commented: 'The terrain is all broken stones like shale and only the occasional flower visible, but more [no?] moss, and like so much of the arctic it is a barren landscape.'
