dead water is the curious phenomenon when ships become sluggish and difficult to control in stratified waters in which a fresh layer sits on top of salty water. such conditions often occur in arctic regions where water run off from melting glaciers or ice flows can float on top of denser salty water.
the effect was first noted by the norwegian explorer fridtjof nansen in 1893 who noted that whil... [Show More]
