Figure 33. — Pack Ice Between Franz Josef land and Severnaya Zemuya 



The pack was closer knitted between Franz Josef Land and Severnaya Zemlya than at most other 

 points of the cruise. At an altitude of 1,000 feet the small polynyas, the pools of melted ice water, and 

 the whiter pressure ridges can be easily discerned. The Graj Zeppelin's cruise embraced only the 

 frontier regions of the polar pack, and no especially heavy ice was observed; and all that was seen 

 showed the effects of summer-time melting.
