Ice action on wharf at Strathcona Sound

A program to determine ice forces and behaviour was carried out on a wharf at Strathcona Sound on Baffin Island during the winter 1975-76. Observations at the site revealed that tidal action resulted in the formation of an increasingly wide and thick zone of ice between the wharf and the natural ice...
