[1] The motion of pancake ice was investigated using an array of specialised drifting buoys, deployed into the advancing ice edge of the Weddell Sea in April 2000. The buoys remained in the ice as the pancakes consolidated into a coherent ice sheet, and the study examined the contrasts in dynamics f...
