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.
