Abstract Massive calving of the Ward Hunt Ice Shelf, northern Ellesmere Island, occurred between August 1961 and April 1962. An estimated 596 km. 2 of ice shelf with a volume of 18 to 24 km. 3 became detached to form ice islands, five of which are very large with areas ranging from 70 to 140 km. 2 . The fracture pattern and the subsequent drift of these ice islands are discussed.
