Abstract

This paper explains basic principles of ice interaction with shores comparing it to littoral drifts versus shores and drift barriers whether they function for ice or for sand or for both. A number of examples are given schematically outlining the two different modes of drifts and their influence on the selection of practical sites for harbours or terminals
