DENSITY STRATIFIED LAKES IN NORTHERN ELLESMERE ISLAND
The discovery of density stratification in Lake Tuborg, northern Ellesmere Island (lat. 80 deg 50 min N, long. 70 deg W), alerted us to the possibility that other lakes in the area might show the same phenomenon, provided they were near enough to sea level to allow the trapping of seawater either th...
