The pack ice in Wellington Channel taken from the helicopter.
A view of the solid pack ice in Wellington Channel taken from the helicopter. The darker patches are surface water and thin ice.
Ivy Sharp's account says: 'We had an especially long flight over ice, but we could not put down because there was too much surface water, Actually the thickness is reckoned to be 2-3 metres, quite strong enough to support our transport.'
