This stereoscopic photograph captures the "United States" ship, a three-masted schooner, frozen in the ice during the 1857-1861 Greenland expedition led by Isaac Israel Hayes. The image, created using the stereoscopic process, offers a unique view of the ship's predicament. This historic photograph, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases the challenges faced by 19th-century explorers venturing into the harsh Arctic landscape.
