The Antarctic Pack Ice in Winter
Abstract A summary of the winter conditions at the edge of the pack ice around Antarctica, as observed on 16 occasions by the R.R.S. Discovery II between 1932 and 1951, is followed by a more detailed account of each visit. The state of the ice on the northern fringe of the pack is noted especially w...
