Monbetsu Drift Ice In Okhotsk Sea
Monbetsu Drift Ice In Okhotsk Sea
The Sea of Okhotsk is covered with drift ice in winter. Water flowing from the Amur River in Siberia freezes when it meets the frigid ocean. The ice starts out thin and gradually grows into floes by the time it reaches the Okhotsk coast to cover the sea with pristine ice. In Mombetsu, the phenomenon can be usually seen from late January to mid-March.
