Using a hydrodynamic ice drift model which allows for interaction of icebergs among themselves, general schemes for average monthly ice circulation around Antarctica are given. A companion chart of solid and breakup zones is also included. The possibility of drawing up a map of solid ice zones based on the records of the forced drift of the Ob in 1973 is discussed.
