Seismic monitoring of the cryosphere is mostly done with land seismometers on the surface of ice masses. Seismic monitoring beneath sea ice at the bottom of ice-covered oceans has hardly been attempted, because ocean bottom seismometers (OBS) are difficult to recover in perennial sea ice. As a resul...
