 In the following summer Bruce was invited to join Prince Albert on another oceanographic cruise to Spitsbergen . At Red Bay , latitude 80 ° N , Bruce ascended the highest peak in the area , which the Prince named " Ben Nevis " in his honour . When Princesse Alice ran aground on a submerged rock and appeared stranded , Prince Albert instructed Bruce to begin preparations for a winter camp , in the belief that it might be impossible for the ship to escape . Fortunately she floated free , and was able to return to Tromsø for repairs .
