Talk:McMurdo Sound

message: Factual issue: The austral summer causes the pack ice to break up.
is misleading. McMurdo Sound freezes shut in winter and the ice stays in place until break-up. I believe this type of ice is called fast ice. Maybe worth a change in the article?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.67.56.180 (talk) 19:49, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Type of ice in McMurdo Sound 

message: Pity the map does not show 'McMurdo Sound'.
:It does now, but it does not locate the Sound within Antarctica generally. -- Beland (talk) 12:43, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Map 

message: "The ice-clogged waters of Antarctica's McMurdo Sound extend about 55 km (35 mi) long and wide. The sound encompasses 2,500 miles (4,000 kilometers) of shoreline which opens to the Ross Sea to the north. "
This can't be right.   An inlet of the sea which is about 55 km long and wide cannot have a shoreline 4000 kilometres long,  even by some weird fractal measure.
Is it supposed to say,  a shoreline 400 km long, which is plausible ?    Or possibly,  an area of 4000 square kilometres,  which is also plausible ?

replies: text: I don't know, and no source was cited. I've removed it. The linear dimensions also seem to be open to dispute; Encyclopaedia Britannica says it is "92 miles (148 km) long and up to 46 miles (74 km) wide", for instance. --Avenue (talk) 22:48, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Apparently nonsensical dimensions 

message: The section titles sound like an opinion/news article:
Ice defines strategic role
Iceberg B-15A clogs McMurdo Sound
Winds have far reaching effects
Life below the ice
Seascape reveals human impact
Tourism surge yet to reach McMurdo
It also seems to flow like an opinion article: "Yet the very ships involved in supporting the export of McMurdo Station’s waste present pollution hazards themselves. A study by the Australian Institute...", etc. Will be tagging the article with an improper tone/style.
