Observations on a Plug of Old Sea Ice in the Entrance to Nansen Sound, Ellesmere Island.

A plug of multi-year sea ice lies in the entrance to Nansen Sound between Ellesmere and Axel Heiberg Islands. We discuss the history of the plug, give the results of observations made in 1980 and show that the plug is made up of sea ice of different ages and that it is still increasing in area. The...
