As of today, out of season, returns ~January. Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.
A weather-driven coastal event where sea ice and drifting floes are pushed onto the shoreline by sustained winds and currents, forming stacked ice ridges and piled ice plates.
On Rügen and in the Jasmund/Greifswalder Bodden area ice pushes occur only in cold winters and can produce meter‑high ice hummocks and dramatic coastal ice formations.
