Experience the fascinating pack ice landscape of Cape Anne in Nunavut, Canada (00020403)

Pack ice landscape in the Arctic

Description: Cape Anne in Nunavut, Canada, is the setting for a fascinating pack ice landscape. On the shore of Cape Anne, stable pack ice has piled up to create a bizarre ice landscape. The powerful combination of wind and waves along the coast has formed a unique scenery. A mysterious blue glows from the depressions between the ice blocks of various shapes. Ice floes drift in the sea, loaded with fantastic ice fragments. Belugas emerge repeatedly and pass by quickly. These animals are not as shy here as in other waters. Polar bears are also regular visitors to this icy paradise.
