Answer 1

The ice in the passage is described thus:

●The ice has chunks melting away that look as  though they have been bitten off​

Explanation:

The ice in the passage given here is metaphorically eaten by the Sun from above and its own weight that is binding it down in the Yukon.

This description is rather metaphorical and we can understand from it that the shape that the ice is in right now can be understood to be looking like it has been taken a bite out of.

The bite that is described here is taken by the elements that are described here as the sun and the forces inside the earth that gnaw at it.
