English: Antarctic coast in the vicinity of Port Martin, Adélie Land, facing south. Summer pack ice in the foreground. The coastline shows rare rock outcrops. The background shows the steep slope of the Antarctic ice sheet, which gives the impression of a huge overhanging ice wall to an observer ashore. Crevasses in the ice sheet are due to the proximity of the Zélée Glacier, a coastal glacier that flows to the right of the photograph. Below the crevassed zone, a rocky band follows a gentle slope upwards: this is the Lacroix Nunatak, which reaches an altitude of 88 m on the right.
Français : La côte antarctique au voisinage de Port-Martin, en terre Adélie (vue en direction du sud). Pack lâche d'été au premier plan. Seuls quelques rares affleurements rocheux sont visibles le long de la côte. En arrière plan, la calotte glaciaire antarctique : sa pente assez raide donne l'impression à un observateur situé en mer d'un véritable mur de glace qui surplombe la côte. La zone de séracs est due à la proximité du glacier de la Zélée, qui s'écoule vers la droite. Sous la zone de séracs, une fine bande rocheuse s'élève régulièrement vers la droite : c'est le nunatak Lacroix, qui atteint une altitude de 88 m sur la droite.
