Arctic Ocean, Northwest Territories, Canada, 1983 Photograph by Emory
Kristof Celestial skies stream light onto a Canadian Coast Guard
icebreaker as it cuts a trail through a frozen expanse of Arctic Ocean
in Canada's Northwest Territories.

The Canadian Coast Guard was part of a mission to explore the sunken
wreckage of the H.M.S. Breadalbane, a British ship that went down in
the 1850s while on a mission to find survivors of the ill-fated
Franklin expedition to map the Northwest Passage.

(Photo shot on assignment for, but not published in, "Exploring a
140-Year-Old Ship Under Arctic Ice," July 1983, National Geographic
magazine)    RELATED
