A detailed profile of the ice fabric, the deuterium content and the sodium concentration of a 1.64 m long, first-year sea-ice core from Breid Bay, near Syowa station (Antarctica), is described. It is proposed that the topmost part of the core consists of frazil ice produced by wind- and wave-induced...
