Edited section on the "sea freezing" because there were some incorrect implications and statements in it. 1) The sea never freezes in the sense of freezing solid. It becomes covered with ice floes. 2) Icebergs are mountain-shaped chunks of ice broken loose from ice shelves. This is not what covers the sea of Okhotsk... it becomes covered with large, flat ice floes. 3) According to automated monitoring sites on the internet, the whole of the sea does not freeze. Rather, floes form in the north part, break loose, and drift southward. Usually the sea is only partially covered, and the cover is mobile.
