The band was very successful in Canada, with eleven of their albums being certified Gold in the country, …

USCGC Polar Sea (WAGB-11) is a United States Coast Guard heavy icebreaker.Commissioned on 23 February 1977, the ship was built by Lockheed Shipbuilding and Construction Company of Seattle along with her sister ship, Polar Star.Her home port is Seattle, Washington.. Polar Sea has been out of service as of 2010 due to failure of five of her six Alco main diesel engines.

There are several research groups that study ice nucleating properties of atmospheric aerosols (for example see FIN-02 research article by DeMott et al. 2018 or The FIN-02 INP measurement intercomparison study).The ice nucleation research capability is also available through user facility call at EMSL, PNNL (see User facility). Cloud dynamics. Ice particles can have a …

Description. Vostok Research Station is around 1,301 kilometres (808 mi) from the Geographic South Pole, at the middle of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet.. Vostok is located near the Southern Pole of Inaccessibility and the South Geomagnetic Pole, making it one of the optimal places to observe changes in the Earth's magnetosphere.Other studies include actinometry, geophysics, …

Description. Ice caps are not constrained by topographical features (i.e., they will lie over the top of mountains). By contrast, ice masses of similar size that are constrained by topographical features are known as ice fields.The dome of an ice cap is usually centred on the highest point of a massif.Ice flows away from this high point (the ice divide) towards the ice cap's periphery.

Pine Island Glacier (PIG) is a large ice stream, and the fastest melting glacier in Antarctica, responsible for about 25% of Antarctica's ice loss. The glacier ice streams flow west-northwest along the south side of the Hudson Mountains into Pine Island Bay, Amundsen Sea, Antarctica.It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and United States …

The Cordilleran ice sheet was a major ice sheet that periodically covered large parts of North America during glacial periods over the last ~2.6 million years. This included the following areas: ... the lower thickness of the ice sheet meant that sea levels were as much as 170 metres lower than they are today, ...

An ice floe (/ f l oʊ /) is a large pack of floating ice often defined as a flat piece at least 20 m across at it’s widest point, and up to more than 10 km across. Drift ice is a floating field of sea ice composed of several ice floes. They may cause ice jams on freshwater rivers, and in the open ocean may damage the hulls of ships.. Gallery

Ice IX is a form of solid water stable at temperatures below 140 K or -133.15 C and pressures between 200 and 400 MPa.It has a tetragonal crystal lattice and a density of 1.16 g/cm 3, 26% higher than ordinary ice.It is formed by cooling ice III from 208 K to 165 K (rapidly—to avoid forming ice II).Its structure is identical to ice III other than being hydrogen-ordered.

The Vancouver Coastal Sea wolf or Vancouver Coastal Island wolf (Canis lupus crassodon) is a subspecies of grey wolf, endemic to Great Bear Rainforest and northern Vancouver Island within the Pacific Northwest Coast of North America. It lives in packs of about five to twenty. These coastal wolves are popularly known as Sea wolves. Vancouver has two types of coastal …
