Summary

Description
English: (a) A map of the North Water polynya (NOW) and surrounding area. (b) An ice arch at the narrow head of Smith Sound historically defines the northern boundary of the polynya, creating the iconic shape of the NOW. In recent years there have been unprecedented ice configurations in the NOW. (c) In 2007 the Smith Sound ice arch failed to consolidate for the first time on record. (d) In 2009 the Smith Sound ice arch again failed to form, but an anomalous ice arch at the northern point of Nares Strait dominated the region.
