Evidence for several cycles of this activity can often be seen. Fig. 11-12 shows LANDSAT scene 1594-21160, for 9 March 1974. This scene shows ice conditions along the northern side of Bristol Bay. Open water can be seen on the lee side of the land and adjacent islands. Farther offshore, a stepwise gradation to thicker, older ice types can be seen, illustrating that the ice moves in accordance with a series of discrete ice-moving events. This scene illustrates why buildup of extensive fast ice in this region is rare, requiring unusual circumstances. Although the characteristic motion is out of Bristol Bay, occasionally a storm can
