The Lincoln Sea Shoreline at Alert is a place of extreme beauty and profound isolation. Here, the land is a mosaic of dark, ancient rocks, scoured and polished by millennia of glacial movement and the relentless push of sea ice. The water itself is a deep, steel-grey, often dotted with floes and bergs, stretching north towards the pole.
