A view of the edge of a floe with worn hummocks off either Point Joy near Cape Louis Napoleon, or Cape Hayes, or north of Cape Fraser. Note the hawser attached to the ice floe. The location is not positively identified. As Lieutenant Alfred C. Parr comments in his journal for Thursday 19 August 1875, "The headlands are so numerous that it is difficult to make out the chart, and the only way will be by following up the coast and getting hold of one or two which there can be no mistake about and then working back" [NMM, PRR/10/1].

Nares mentions in his official narrative of the voyage, but actually describing the return journey in August 1876: 'Cape Frazer being subject to great pressure from the pack in Kane's Sea, the ice-foot is of much the same character as the ice-wall in the Polar Sea, but the depth of water alongside it at low-water is only a few feet; the accompanying illustration from an excellent photograoph obtained by Mr. Mitchell when the water had yet to rise two feet, showes the cliffy nature of the sea-face.'
