Distant view of the cliffs of Prince Leopold Island, near Somerset Island.

A view across open water and the pack ice towards the cliffs of Prince Leopold Island. A line of low cloud hovers at cliff-height obscuring part of the island. Above this low cloud is a clear sky and the sun is making the cliffs very light in the sunshine. The photograph was taken from the ice breaker Kapitan Dranitsyn (1980).
