After February’s lack of ice, winds shifted abruptly on March 9, bringing sea ice back to Savoonga. Even as ice returned, local resident Aqef Waghiyi reported that “it is all broken up . . . no flat pieces and it is real rough. There are patches of open water . . . biggest open patch in front of town is maybe as big as a football field.” Photo by Savoonga IRA, February 14, 2018.
