Abstract
Massive bodies of subsurface ice and icy sediments are relatively abundant throughout the Tuktoyaktuk Peninsula, Richards Island, and nearby areas. A statistical study, based upon shot hole records, shows that massive ice is most common at a depth of about 40 feet. Icy sediments, where present, occur with relatively constant frequency to a depth of at least 140 feet. At Tuktoyaktuk, examples of massive ice and icy sediments are readily accessible for examination in man-made excavations and coastal exposures.
