XIV. Some observations on sea-water ice
Many different opinions have been expressed as to the nature of ice resulting from the freezing of sea-water, all agreeing, however, in one point, that, when melted, the water is unfit to drink. During the antarctic cruise of H. M. S. ‘Challenger’ I took an opportunity of examining some of the brok...
