Surrounding pack
Hello everyone
Can you please help me understand what is meant by "the surrounding pack" in the following paragraph?
"Not all phantom ships are sailing ships. According to Philip and Nancy Seff, authors of Petrified Lightning, in 1931 the freighter Baychinco became a ghost ship of the Arctic Sea. The Baychinco was sailing near Point Barrlow, Alaska, when it became stuck in encroaching ice with the approach of winter. In this situation there was little for the crew to do but wait for the ice to break up so they could sail onward. While waiting, a raging storm came, and the captain, fearing that the ice's movements would crush the ship's hull like an eggshell, ordered the crew down onto the surrounding pack until the storm had passed."
