Abstract

An interpretation of the data taken during the 1984 Huurre Expedition, a surface traverse by skiing from 83 degree N to 90 degree N, is presented. Data included wind speed, direction, air temperature, barometric pressure, drift vectors of the sea ice, and several novel ice features. The region from 83 degree N to 84 degree 30 prime N, some 160 km north of Ellesmere Island along 70 degree W longitude, was free of open leads and relatively stationary, with extensive multi-year ice. Examples of tension cracking in multi-year ice of 8-15 meter thickness were noted, and evidence of repeated refreezing and fracture of new ice in open leads was observed. The ice movements and features are related to the weather conditions.
