Growth mechanisms of 'Katie's Floeberg'

The growth mechanism of the grounded ice feature on Hanna's Shoal, located at approximately 162 deg W, 72 deg N in the Chukchi Sea, has been analyzed using Landsat I and II satellite imagery. The primary mechanism of growth was deduced to be the formation of large wedges of ice against the upst...
