"The crew of an icebreaker
is watching a large 'hummock' off
the starboard bow. What are they
looking at?"

I believe a hummock is a mound of ice. I'm just guessing here but I think they can be pretty large and are caused by pressure in the ice field maybe? Like a ridge or something? I got the impression after doing some reading that they are not something even an icebreaker would want to encounter so I assume that's why they keep a lookout for them.
