  <dc:description>&lt;div data-canvas-width="135.02486666666667"&gt;A steep-faced boulder&amp;nbsp;ridge up to&amp;nbsp;4m high by 300m&amp;nbsp;long&amp;nbsp;was encountered along the arctic coast&amp;nbsp;east&amp;nbsp;of Prudhoe Bay,&amp;nbsp;Alaska,&amp;nbsp;in&amp;nbsp;the summer&amp;nbsp;of 1979.&amp;nbsp;Marine occurrences of similar ridges are rare. Since ice-push sorts cobble- and boulder-sized material in the construction of a ridge, recent onshore excursions of ice due to wind stress on the fast ice are believed to be responsible for building the boulder ridge. Ice push is a mechanism that preferentially sorts cobble- and boulder-sized material from 1-2m water depths and that forms boulder ridges in areas of high boulder concentrations.&lt;/div&gt;</dc:description>
