Pressure ridges and ripples on the sea ice near Scott Base, taken from T-site (at the base of Crater hill). Click on pictures for larger image.
The year was 2002. One day I decided to head over to Scott Base and take some pictures of the sea ice pressure ridges. (click here) Scott Base is situated at a point where there is particular activity in the sea ice. It is very close to where the land, sea ice, and ice shelf meet. So a good deal of pressure builds up and the sea ice will buckle upward.
