Aerial observations off East Queen Maud Land, Antarctica, have verified that an open polynya exists and that frazil-ice production occurs there. From the airborne-XBT data, the mixed layer temperature of the polynya attains its freezing point. This polynya is therefore regarded as a latent-heat poly...
