landfast ice
Sea ice that is immobile due to its attachment to a coast, usually extending offshore to about the 20-m isobath. In protected bays and inlets, fast ice is smooth and level, typically reaching a thickness of between 2 and 2. 5 m. Along exposed coastlines, fast ice may be greatly deformed.
