In the winter, when the Antarctic sea ice cover is expanding, the far edge of the marginal ice zone is populated by small floes with characteristic diameters much smaller than ocean wavelengths and known as pancake ice. This form of sea ice was once only typical of Antarctic waters, but it is now ob...
