Basically the ice of the White Sea is constantly being pushed out through the neck of the White 

 Sea into the Barents Sea. This removal of ice sometimes increases, sometimes decreases, and 

 only in rare instances ceases altogether. In connection with the constant removal of older ice, 

 along the shores of the White Sea polynyas are constantly being formed and these are covered over 

 with young ice in the winter season. Thus, in the spring the old ice (November and December 

 origin) may be found only in the most stagnant zones of this sea, namely, along the Zimni shore 

 and near Morzhovets Island.
