Description
Summary:running vbl n The Northern Newfoundlanders often run great risks in seal hunting. They walk out over the/ "standing ice" which lies along the coast to a distance of three, four, or more miles, to what is known as the "running ice," i.e. that which lies in the current of the Strait, and which is always in motion. This running ice does not, like the standing ice, consist of an extensive unbroken field, but is split up into small floes, or "pans," as they are called, of all sizes and shapes.
