Ice loads is one of the most important parameters which should be taken into consideration for arctic structures. load highly depends on ice thickness. It always recommended to consider thickness data from field observations. However if not available it necessary calculate thicknesses level. Calculation also areas where thermal fluxes through structure consideration. In this work numerical simulation Stefan problem determining level presented. The results show good correlation between empirical, experimental and finite element problem.
