| It is so big it has blocked wind and water currents that break up ice floes in McMurdo Sound during the Antarctic summer. |
| The environment in the Antarctic is magnificent with glaciers, icebergs and ice floes on a scale which is awe-inspiring. |
| Alternatively, the lack of multi-year floes in the shorefast ice can be ascribed to the weather systems occurring just before freeze-up. |
| These rotations further suggest that forces acting on the nearshore edges of large floes behave differently from those acting on offshore edges. |
| The curious bearded seal and harp seal birth their pups nearby ice floes or merely bask in the warmth of the midnight sun. |
| Pack ice formed on the surface and drifted in floes until the water levels dropped and it lodged on higher ground. |
