A
picture taken of consolidated pack-ice. The ice that you see is mainly
pack-ice, last years ice that formed elsewhere, broke up and floated here.
As the temperature dropped, then this ice became stuck together by
fast-ice, sea-water frozen in situ and attached to the coast that acts as a glue for the loose bits
of pack. The ice-bergs that you see have been frozen in position and will
remain son until they are freed by the spring break-up of the surrounding
sea-ice.
