Polynya

And in the prehistoric societies, I think that divide didn't exist.

And we have learned to know, scientific research has proved that Polinia, the Kerry Islands, is situated in a polinia, which is an ice-free area in the sea ice.

When the sea ice is formed in this area, in the polinia area, there is open water.

In the case of the Begiela Sorsvart carrier where the Gid Tissued Island is, the polynya is formed by the sea currents, warm water and the constant winds.

There is an explosion of plankton in this pollinia that attracts birds and sea mammals.

And this also attracts people.

And this is maybe one of the reasons why the first people came to Greenland because they were attracted by the hunting possibilities around this Polinia.

And the area is also called the entrance to Greenland or that's where people from the North American continent crossed over to Greenland because of the short distance between Ellesmere Island and Greenland.

And...

So we left the Polinia and it went deep again.

And the Polinia was there because the keel of the icebergs were blocked by...

They ran aground on the shallow.

Oh, I see.

And the wind pushed the ice away behind it.

And that caused the open water, the Polinia.

and once we knew that we um kind of convinced the ship that we that would be totally interesting to get back onto these into these shallow areas i never thought they would do it but they were game and so they let us back in back into the in in the shallow areas and we mapped enough to um to constrain it we got the foot of the structure it's like an elongated um um it's an elongated feature five kilometers across uh reaching i think the cellist we mapped was about 30 meter water depths which is about uh 18 meter under hull and uh it's uh i i was amazed they they went for it it's uh it's not it's not much water sure
