ABSTRACT:
A man-made island and a method for constructing the same in an ice covered body of water using portions of the ice sheet as integral parts of the island. The island is formed by placing fill material, such as sand or gravel, on a portion of the ice sheet to ground that portion. The grounded ice sheet is cut free from the surrounding ice sheet and matter, such as fill material, blocks of ice, etc., is placed on the grounded portion of the ice sheet to construct an island in the body of water. Additional portions of the ice sheet can be separated and grounded on top of previously grounded portions prior to placing matter on the stack of grounded ice pieces to construct the island.
