I found the surreal shapes and colours of the sea, ice, and sky absolutely enthralling, and took a multitude of pictures, only a surfeit of which are reproduced here. We first encountered pack ice when approaching Franz Josef Land on the way North. The bulk of the following pictures were taken as we approached the Pole. If you find these images tedious, just skip to the next page. Me, I can look at them for hours.
