Question
Are icebergs a significant concern near Barrow? (Choose the best answer.)
The correct answer is b) "No."
Icebergs are rare in the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas. They're mostly a concern for operations around or south of Greenland. Icebergs originate from glaciers, and since few glaciers reach the sea in this part of the Arctic, there are few icebergs.
