- Item2023.62.122 - Embankment along a river, melting and quickly eroding. A good example of sun's warm rays on permafrost in the embankment material, which then flows over layers of ice and freezes later in colder weather
- Item2023.62.123 - General view of permafrost and ground cover melting due to sun's warm rays. This natural process is very active over a very short summer period.
- Item2023.62.124 - Richard Moskal stuck in a gully trying to cross. Snow was wet and slushy with a stream flowing below. Ground above very muddy, like gumbo and it stuck to your boots. Area was very barren. Foot tracks across snow on right, by St Onge.
- Item2023.62.125 - General topographic view of area around Isachsen, showing summer erosion.
- Item2023.62.126 - Denis St Onge and Richard Moskal and two fellow scientists on field expedition around Isachsen area. Note the fellow with found musk ox horns. Not sure where he found them as there is little vegetation on the island for animals to live on. Geographic Branch flag flying in the background.
- Item2023.62.127 - Denis St Onge taking field notes at Louise Bay, south of Isachsen.
- Item2023.62.128 - Meltwater streams eroding the landscape and flowing into the sea, ie Louise Bay. Note in the picture, a "pingo". Very visible on aerial photos, but no known field pictures, prior to this.
- Item2023.62.129 - Coloured mosses and lichens.
- Item2023.62.130 - Arctic yellow poppies, with ring belonging to Denis St Onge. The sun's warm rays quickly open the flower buds, but the flower is short lived.
