Modelling iceberg tracks around Antarctica ...
The drift tracks of five large tabular icebergs drifting around Antarctica were simulated using a dynamic model similar to that used by Lichey and Hellmer (2001) with the exception that sea ice strength was not considered as a condition of iceberg trapping. Three of these iceberg tracks (737n165, 74...
