Sea ice in January 2011

The Coast Guard went on one ice survey flight this month.

Sea ice was closest to land in the following locations: 80 nm WNW of Bjargtangar, 46 nm NW of Barði, 40 nm NW of Straumnes and 41 nm N of Kögur. No icebergs were to be seen near the ice edge.

On the Greenland Strait, northeasterly wind directions were dominant to begin with, and most of the month, but at the end of the month there were a few days with southwesterly wind.
