This article is continuation of earlier work on the study of oil behavior spilled in ice conditions, results of which showed that, depending on ambient conditions and properties of oil, the latter can be in low-viscosity state, which makes it possible to extract it [1]. The paper presents results of field studies and development of method for containing and gathering oil spilled under the ice cover on their basis. Obtained experimental results are confirmed by mathematical model of the freezing process of water body and substantiate the possibility of containing and gathering oil spilled under the ice.
