Ice wedges of the Dalton Highway, Alaska
Quarterly Journal of Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology, 2001North America’s largest oilfield was discovered in 1968 at Prudhoe Bay; it contained over ten billion barrels of recoverable oil about 3000 m beneath the Arctic Coastal Plain. Its development changed Alaska’s economy for ever, and included building the oil pipeline from Prudhoe Bay to Valdez.

Ice-Wedge Polygons of Northern Alaska
1982Ice-wedge polygons, commonly 5–30 m in diameter, are strikingly developed over the Arctic Coastal Plain of northern Alaska. Troughs over ice wedges that outline the polygons are a few centimeters to several meters wide. Centers of polygons are flat, high centered, or low centered in a continuum in which relief generally is several decimeters to a meter.

Ice-Wedge Cracks, Garry Island, Northwest Territories
Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences, 1974Observations made on winter ice-wedge cracks at Garry Island, N.W.T., for the 1967–73 period show that cracking tends to occur between mid-January and mid-March. On the average, nearly 40% of the ice wedges crack in any given year. The crack frequency varies inversely with snow depth.

A fossil ice wedge at Perstorp, Skåne
Geologiska Föreningen i Stockholm Förhandlingar, 1977Abstract A fossil ice wedge is described. The wedge was about 0.5 m deep and almost as wide, even at the lower end. It cut through a bed of fine sand and coarse silt, which was overlain by sand and sandy gravel and underlain by sand and a sandy till.
