Usually all this sea between us and the island 2-3 miles distant and about 30 miles long is on the move and more commonly rough than not. Now though it is all perfectly flat and calm and covered with a delicate but solid ice layer maybe an inch thick (2.5cm) that you can easily poke a finger through that covers tens, probably hundreds of square miles. That's the great thing about the temperature falling below freezing, the whole world changes in such an impressive way.
