[Un chenal est] toute fracture ou passage à travers la glace de mer accessible à un navire de surface. Si le passage se trouve entre la glace dérivante et le rivage, il s'agit d'un chenal côtier. S'il se trouve entre la glace dérivante et une banquise côtière, c'est un chenal de séparation. 3, record 1, French, - chenal%20de%20s%C3%A9paration

La «banquise côtière» désigne la glace de mer rattachée à la côte; peut être formée sur place à partir de l'eau de mer ou provenir du gel du pack; dans certains cas, elle n'a que quelques mètres mais elle peut s'étendre à plusieurs centaines de kilomètres du littoral. Le «pack» ou la «banquise» est un terme utilisé au sens large pour désigner toute glace de mer autre que la banquise côtière. 4, record 1, French, - chenal%20de%20s%C3%A9paration
