Pack Ice 1
Pack Ice 1 : Also called: ice pack: Ice covering more than half of the visible sea surface. Broken, loose, or open pack covers between 0.5 and 0.8 of the sea surface, while close, dense, thick, or tight pack covers more than 0.8 but shows some leads or polynya's; no open water whatever is visible in consolidated, solid, or unbroken pack. The thick and sometimes solid pack ice covering the central Arctic Ocean has been variously called "arctic ice pack," "arctic pack ice," "arctic pack," "polar cap ice," "polar ice," etc. The terms pack ice and ice pack have been used indiscriminately for both the sea area containing floating ice, and the ice material itself
