A piece of stray drift-ice thumped against the boat and grated along its side. ❋ Unknown (2010)
He fought gale after gale, south to 64° inside the antarctic drift-ice, and pledged his immortal soul to the ❋ Unknown (2010)
It was a pressure-mass that, as far as appearance went, might just as well have been formed out in the drift-ice. ❋ Unknown (2009)
During the cold, dry, and stable "drift-ice stagnation" phase in West Greenland (approximately 1810 to 1860), marine mammals and seabirds concentrated at central West Greenland because the sea ice did not advance far north into Davis Strait. ❋ Unknown (2009)
During the "drift-ice melting stage" (1910 to 1960) the East Greenland sea ice decreased in Davis Strait and populations of marine mammals and seabirds increased in northern West Greenland. ❋ Unknown (2009)
As regards the belt of drift-ice, Captain Nilsen thought that would cause us no delay in future. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Nilsen had marked on the chart the limits of the belt of drift-ice during the three passages the Fram had already made. ❋ Unknown (2009)
On the Belgica, in the drift-ice to the west of Graham Land, we always had rough, unpleasant weather. ❋ Unknown (2009)
The ice continued slack, and on February 6 the rapidly increasing swell told us that we had done with the Antarctic drift-ice for good. ❋ Unknown (2009)
During the spring the drift-ice pressed in an insignificant part of one of the many points on the outer edge of the Barrier. ❋ Unknown (2009)
But indeed the Thames was a wonderful sight that year! ice-fringed along either shore, and with drift-ice in the middle reflecting a luminous scarlet from the broad red setting sun, and moving steadily, incessantly seaward. ❋ Herbert George (2004)
We held on to the east outside this drift-ice and along the eastern Barrier till past midnight, but as Balloon Bight was not to be found, we returned to the above-mentioned break or cape, where we lay during the whole forenoon of the 13th, as the ice was too thick to allow us to make any progress. ❋ Unknown (2003)
We followed the Barrier for some distance, but in the neighbourhood of Cape Colbeck we met the drift-ice, and as I had no wish to come between this and the Barrier, we stood out in a north-westerly direction. ❋ Unknown (2003)
At 4 p.m. on the 22nd we entered the drift-ice in lat. ❋ Unknown (2003)
By 10 p.m. on the 2nd we came into slack drift-ice; the weather was foggy, and we therefore kept going as near as might be on the course to the Bay of Whales, which was destined to be our base. ❋ Unknown (2003)
Thus, guided by this clever hand, the Nautilus passed through all the ice with a precision which quite charmed Conseil; icebergs or mountains, ice-fields or smooth plains, seeming to have no limits, drift-ice or floating ice-packs, plains broken up, called palchs when they are circular, and streams when they are made up of long strips. ❋ Unknown (2003)
February 6 the rapidly increasing swell told us that we had done with the Antarctic drift-ice for good. ❋ Unknown (2003)
The problem which it was sought to solve in the construction of the Fram was that of providing a ship which could survive the crushing embrace of the Arctic drift-ice. ❋ Unknown (2003)
In the course of the day the weather became fine, and we tried to go back about noon; but the bay was so full of drift-ice that we could not come in to the fast ice-foot. ❋ Unknown (2003)
