Abstract
A microtoming and replicating technique has been developed for examining the microstructure of sea ice optically and by scanning electron microscope. This dual observation method is useful for studying the grain and sub-grain structure of sea ice, the nature of the brine pockets, and the precipitation pattern of the salt crystals at low temperatures.
