Ice in the harbour

Celebrating the birthday of one of my sisters, we were at a waterfront

pub last night. This was the view of the harbour from the pub's

window. The harbour is nearly full of northern pack ice blown into

the harbour by northeasternly winds.



People have been doing so but I would not dare walk on this. It's too

loose. But in about 1974 the NE wind lasted longer; the harbour

completely filled up with ice. It jammed in, and rafted up on edges

and it was possible then to walk across the harbour.
