Summary: | An elongated sea ice feature called the Svalbard sea ice barrier rapidly formed over an area in the Barents Sea to the east of Sbalbard posing navigation hazards. The secret of its formation lies in the bottom bathemetry that governs the distribution of cold Arctic waters masses, which impacts sea ice growth on the water surface. NASA/JPL |
