Fast ice
Fast ice is sea ice that has frozen along coasts along the shoals, or to the sea floor over shallow parts of the continental shelf, and extends out from land into sea. In Antarctica, fast ice may also extend between grounded icebergs. Unlike drift ice, it does not move with currents and wind. The width of this ice zone is usually seasonal and depends on ice thickness, topography of the sea floor and islands. In Arctic seas the fast ice extends up to the depths of 20 m, while in the Subarctic seas, the zone extends to depths of about 10 m. Grounded icebergs may also act as anchors for fast ice, in particular in Antarctica. In some coastal areas with abrupt shelf and no islands, e.g., in the Sea of Okhotsk off Hokkaidō, tides prevent the formation of any fast ice. Smaller ocean basins may contain only the fast ice zone with no pack ice. The topography of the fast ice vary from smooth and level to rugged. Fast ice may either grow in place from the sea water or by freezing pieces of drifting ice to the shore or other anchor sites.
