Abstract: Rather big ridges have been studied. The height above sea level has been 1-2 meters and the submarine part 6-10 meters, but in some cases as much as 20 meters. The dimensions seem to depend on the thickness of the level ice from the ridge has been formed. Characteristic for an ice ridge is that pieces on the surface will freeze together, but at a depth of 1-1.5 meter, the pieces are loose.
