Abstract

Large single-crystal ice platelets were collected at 250 m depth in the vicinity of the Filchner Ice Shelf. They were probably formed in supercooled water streaming out from under the ice shelf as supported by hydrographic observations. The significance of large platelets rising from greater depths for the biological processes in sea ice along the Antarctic ice shelves is discussed. © 1986.
