The worst sea ice in 30 years is threatening shipping and the livelihoods of fishermen on China's eastern coast.
Floating chunks of ice off the eastern coast will continue to increase until the temperature warms between Saturday and next Tuesday, according to China's National Marine Forecasting Station yesterday.
"The sea ice is about 60 nautical miles (110 km) off the coast of Liaodong Bay," Liu Yu, the station's chief forecaster, told China Daily yesterday.
