[edit] Summary

Anchor ice formations can be seen on the sea floor under the sea ice here at Cape Armitage off of Ross Island in McMurdo Sound, Antarctica. Anchor ice formations will 'cycle', meaning that they will become bouyant enough to lift the rock or gravel that they are attached to off of the sea floor, and will float away in the current or attach to the underside of the sea ice. New anchor ice formations are constantly forming during the coldest periods of the year, September to December.
