Abstract
Imagery from the shuttle imaging radar‐B experiment as well as other satellite and meteorological data are examined to learn more about the open sea ice margin of the Weddell‐Scotia Seas region. At the ice edge, the ice forms into bandlike aggregates of small ice floes similar to those observed in the Bering Sea. The radar backscatter characteristics of these bands suggest that their upper surface is wet. Further into the pack, the radar imagery shows a transition to large floes. In the open sea, large icebergs and long surface gravity waves are discernable in the radar images.
