Sea Ice - Atlas of Canada
In the winter, sea ice is usually present in coastal waters of Canada except for those of British Columbia where warm ocean currents from the south prevent the formation of sea ice. In the summer, sea ice in Canadian waters is limited to the northern regions. The freezing and thawing of sea ice is of great importance to people as it affects things such as shipping routes.
To find out more about sea ice in Canada, choose one of the maps and/or animations on the following Atlas of Canada Web site.
