When operating in an area where sea ice and icebergs are present, which statement is TRUE?

Correct Answer: Option D — Icebergs may travel in a direction many degrees different from the sea ice.

Sea ice is primarily driven by immediate surface wind stress, whereas massive deep-draft icebergs are heavily influenced by deeper ocean current vectors. Consequently, icebergs frequently travel on trajectories and speeds differing markedly from surrounding sea ice.
