ARCTIC ICE-ISLANDS AND HOW THEY DRIFT
In recent years there have been discovered, in the Central Arctic Ocean, some very curious ice-formations, known as ice-island. These islands are sharply distinct both from the old ice-fields of the Central Arctic regions and from the icebergs carved by the glaciers which descend into the Arctic Bas...

In recent years there have been discovered, in the Central Arctic Ocean, some very curious ice-formations, known as ice-island. These islands are sharply distinct both from the old ice-fields of the Central Arctic regions and from the icebergs carved by the glaciers which descend into the Arctic Basin. The thickness of the Arctic ice fields (including the hummocks) usually does not exceed 3-5 meters, while the horizontal dimensions both in summer and particularly in winter may be very great (some tens of kilometers).
