Image Caption: SEA ICE VORTEX
Both topography and bathymetry combine with wind and sea currents to
produce this pattern of sea ice in the extreme southern Sea of Okhotsk.
The rugged shoreline of north Hokkaido and the Kurile Archipelago have
channeled northerly winds and surface waters into a gyre here, clearly
depicted in the pattern of sea ice.
