A view of young ice forming in the foreground around broken fragments of floe, cementing them together. This photograph is very similar to that of Plate No. 81. There is some discrepancy between the official catalogue and the handwritten note made on the mount of Plate No. 81 from Album 1093. If this is September 1875, then it is any time during the month from the start of the time 'Alert' was frozen in off the northern coast of Ellesmere Island. However, if it is off Cape Beechey in Robeson Channel, then photograph was taken between 4-7 August as the ship was trapped by a grounded piece of floe between 8-10 August 1876 when the ship was returning south.
