This work is a result of a pioneering search for information buried in old unprocessed reports, stored in many archives, dating as far back as 1881. Main body of data comes from ice reconnaissance flights, shipboard logs, oceanographic expeditions and coastal/island observation stations. About 80,000 records have been processed. The Atlas contains charts of iceberg calving regions, monthly distributions, probabilities, southern extent, morphological characteristics and statistical data for all the Arctic regions.
