Long description

A cropped stereographic map of the Arctic Ocean surrounded by landmasses. The North Pole is offset to the right of the centre. In the Arctic Ocean are two kinds of arrows. Large white arrows show the general circulation of the ocean. To the left of the North Pole, north of Canada, is a large clockwise circulation labelled Beaufort Gyre. Above this are two white arrows from the coast of Siberia directed across the Arctic Ocean and out of Fram Strait which are labelled Transpolar Drift Stream. The second kind of arrow is light blue and represents the movement of sea ice in the Arctic Ocean. Above the Beaufort Gyre the arrows show a clockwise circulation and above the Transpolar Drift the arrows show a flow of ice in the same direction and out of the Arctic Ocean.
