In September 2018 the artist Anne Lydiat led an expedition to north east Greenland as an homage to the American Arctic explorer Louise Arner Boyd (1887-1972). Sailing with her were a multi-disciplinary team of artists, filmakers, scientists and experienced sailors who produced photographs, drawings, and audio and visual recordings. They also undertook marine micro and macro surveys by collecting water samples and mapping the extent of plastic pollution in this pristine part of the world.

Louise Boyd made seven expeditions into Arctic waters, filming and photographing topography, measuring ocean depths, and collecting plant specimens. Her use of an aerial mapping camera to document the glacial landscape enabled her to produce a mosaic of high-quality photographs that served as the basis for new detailed maps of the region.

On her 1931 expedition Boyd had discovered an unknown glacier and previously uncharted land at the head of Ice Fjord subsequently named in her honour as the Louise Glacier and Miss Boyd Land.  The photograph depicts the approach to Miss Boyd Land and the Louise Glacier held in an icy embrace by the Jaette Glacier on the left and the De Geer Glacier on the right.
