Some of this ice is trapped for decades as multi-year land-fast ice [30].

The remobilization of land-fast ice in summer is poorly understood.

There are a few hundred meters of land-fast ice along all arctic coastlines in winter.

Interannual variability in the thickness of coastal land-fast ice is dominated by changes in winter snow accumulation, not air temperature.

Many potential impacts of climate change will be mediated through land-fast ice.

Marine Arctic 2009

Weekly records of land-fast ice thickness obtained from drilling are available for coastal locations around the Arctic (Canada and Russia) for the 1940s through the present [26].

Marine Arctic 2009

Within the Canadian Archipelago in late winter, land-fast ice bridges channels up to 200 km wide and covers an area of 1 million km2.

There are no systematic trends over the past 50 years in the thickness of coastal land-fast ice in either northern Canada or Siberia [103].

"The Boothia Strait doesn't have land-fast ice, so it could be moving or cracking, and there will be some open waters and polynyas along our way."

One even of these must lie close to the shore, with a land-fast there: and that is the best for a small ship.

When the large sheets of sea ice are formed, they exist in one of two formations. Fast ice, or land-fast ice, refers to the large, solid ice sheets that are attached to land. The pack ice consists of the smaller, free-floating pieces of sea ice. They may have formed independently, or may have broken off from the fast ice (Figure 14.1.3).
