Learning About Ice Pressure Ridges: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 13:01, 18 March 2025

Where sea-ice meets the shore, or where ice sheets are pushed into each other by their underlying currents, they are forced upwards. Where the ice sheets are forced upwards they shape jagged lines of icy structures across the landscape. When encountering such ice pressure ridges you have to feel your way alongside them to find an appropriate point of crossing.

Ice-pressure ridges perform a re-directive of a seemingly less voluntary nature than the invitations explained before. That is because an ice-pressure ridge does not so much depend on our active attunements, as it submits and exposes us to the conditions and boundaries within which we encounter the larger apparatuses at play.

Ice pressure ridges de/marcate both the boundaries of this knowledge-land-scape, as well as the extent of possibilities for readers to make their own tracing/threading/wayfaring choices.

Like in community-based research, not everything is possible in this Knowledge-Land-Scape.

-The ice pressure ridge is a figure that gestures towards the agencies of the land itself. Where sea-ice meets the shore, or where ice sheets are pushed into each other by their underlying currents, they are forced upwards. Where the ice sheets are forced upwards they shape jagged lines of icy structures across the landscape. When encountering such an ice pressure ridges you have to trail alongside them to find an appropriate point of crossing.

-The figure of the Ice-pressure ridge emerged for the author as result of their own on-the-land experiences when they were taken out on the land by their Inuit research collaborators. Although the principle of redirection, and trailing along such ice pressure ridges is therefore literal, its figurative practice also applies to other events, like Covid-19 or delays due to the weather. Each of these events are the material results of responsive agencies that push you of track on your journey, as if you would encounter an ice pressure ridge on your way.
