Pack ice is an ice flow that has broken from fast ice that remains attached to the land.
Fast ice is ice that is fastened to the land.
As I was zooming across the snow-covered ice on my way to Turks Head today, I thought back to the past four days since my arrival here at Big Razorback. I now see adult male and female and male and female seal pups everyday. I also have been given the responsibility of taking care of an underwater video camera that is being used for the first time with this project. I keep the ice hole that it is in cleaned by chopping frozen ice and netting smaller ice so the hole does not freeze shut. We have remote controls so we can run the camera and view it from a television inside our living hut.
