Summary: | The paper describes fast ice deformations in the region of the Russian Antarctic Research Support Station, Mirny. It appears to be the result of extensive measurements and observations conducted in the field and describes some phenomena only seldom reported elsewhere. The authors observed plastic compressional deformations of the fast ice sheet. A detailed description of certain re-occurring fast ice deformation patterns is given. The work was justified by the need to travel and move loads from ship to shore over many kilometers of deformed fast ice. (Author) Draft trans. of Sovetskaya Antarkticheskaya Ekspeditsiya.
