Newly obtained data on the critical dynamics of the drifting/fracturing sea ice in the Arctic Ocean were analyzed and compared with published data on the dynamic processes in the Earth’s crust. Substantial similarities were found in the scaling behavior of both geophysical systems; the most importan...
