Image Caption:
S36-74-025 and S36-152-202: Kamchatka Ice patterns in water.
These possibly outline differences in water temperature and sa-
linity. Ice-free water near the coast (top center of slide) sug-
gests some coastal upwelling of warmer (slightly above freezing)
waters from depth. Where no such vertical circulation occurs (as
in the restricted bays), the water freezes. Near-shore circula-
tion entrains the warmer and colder, icy waters, forming the
spectacular patterns seen here.
