The pack ice off Prince Leopold Island, near Somerset Island.

A view of the pack ice with a small strip of clear water in the foreground. Low dark clouds are obscuring the sun, whose light is just showing through on the horizon. The photograph was taken from the ice breaker Kapitan Dranitsyn (1980).
