包含一个帐户的发现两组“冰岛”显然起源于埃尔斯米尔岛的北海岸。它们的大小、形状和表面结构,以及用飞机和雷达跟踪大型冰岛的漂移,由凯尼格少校(来自美国空军)讨论。“雷鸟”和其他航班),并由中队队长格林威(从加拿大的航班和航空照片)。大量的文件是(邓巴小姐)提出的19 - 20世纪世纪探险家的参考,并观察到这样的“岛屿”。它们起源于陆架冰的可能性和北方埃尔斯米尔冰架的特征(由哈特斯利-史密斯先生提出)。特别考虑到三个非常大的岛屿(确定为T1 T2 T3),它们的发现,位置和运动,描述,季节变化等;并根据其存在的区域排列了关于较小“岛屿”的额外数据。从空中看,这些“浮岛”很容易与浮冰区分开来,因为它们的尺寸很大,外观均匀,表面非常规则,具有典型的图案,而且形状固定,表明它们的厚度和硬度很大。参考书目(约40项)。
Contains an account of the discovery of two groups of "ice islands" evidently originating on the north coast of Ellesmere Island. Their size, shape and surface structure, as well as tracking the drift of the large ice islands by planes and radar, are discussed by Major Koenig (from U.S.A.F. "Ptarmigan" and other flights), and by Squadron-Leader Greenaway (from Canadian flights and air photographs). Extensive documentation is presented (by Miss Dunbar) of 19th-20th century explorers' references to, and observations of such "islands". The probability of their origin from shelf ice and the character of the ice shelf of Northern Ellesmere is presented (by Mr. Hattersley-Smith). Special consideration is given to three very large islands (identified as T1 T2 T3), their discovery, positions and movement, description, seasonal changes, etc.; with additional data on smaller "islands," arranged according to the areas of their presence. From the air the "floating islands" are easily distinguishable from pack ice by their large size, homogenous appearance, very regular, characteristically patterned surface, and a fixed shape suggesting great thickness and hardness. Bibliography (about 40 items).
