Impact of a small stream as it enters the sea waters and ice. Sea ice is melting and broken into bits, but will start freezing quickly in a month or sooner.
Soil erosion is constant and very natural on the Island. Huge ice lenses below the ground melt quickly and the fine sandy and gravelly wet soils slump away by the forces of gravity.
A very large river delta of water and eroded soil materials entering the sea. Tue sea ice at this location is permanent, except along the shore. Blue water on ice are surface melt water ponds and not open water.
