The sheer cliffs of Prince Leopold Island or Devon Island.

A view of the sheer cliff face of Prince Leopold Island (or Devon Island) taken from one of the Zodiaz Rigid Inflatable Boats (RIBs) ferrying passengers to the island or from the ice breaker Kapitan Dranitsyn (1980). The foot of the cliff is skirted by small pieces of ice with other small pieces floating free in the Strait.

Ivy Sharp recorded that she ran out of film en route to Prince Leopold Island on 3 August. If that is the case then these cliffs may be along the southern coast of Devon Island or Cornwallis Island where they finished the voyage at Resolute.
