A view of the grounded sea ice ('floebergs') forced up onto the shore by the pressure of the ice moving from the north.
A view of the grounded sea ice broken off the main ice floes and forced up onto the shore by the pressure of the ice moving from the north. This sea ice was known on the expedition as 'Floebergs'. On the north coast of Ellesmere Island, the ice was found to be stranded at a distance of 100 to 200 yards from the shore, which formed a fringe of ice from 20 feet to upwards of 60 feet in height above water.
