Bizarre pack ice formations on Cape Anne in Canada

Description: The coast of Cape Anne in Nunavut, Canada, showcases impressive pack ice formations. Due to the influence of wind and waves, a unique and bizarre ice landscape has formed along the shore. The mysterious blue shines from the depressions between the various shapes of ice blocks. Ice floes drift in the sea, laden with fascinating fragments. Belugas emerge and quickly pass by. This area is less shy than the Cunningham Inlet, but visitors also need to watch out for polar bears.
