The article demonstrates that the conditions of LF–MF–SF bands electromagnetic wave propagation over the “ice-sea” structure with highly inductive impedance are more favorable than over the sea without ice because of the appearance of surface electromagnetic waves (SEW). It was determined that the conditions of radio wave propagation over ice paths depend on a frequency, ice thickness and distance from the transmitter within the 100 kHz – 5 MHz range on the paths with ice thickness from 0.6 to 2.7 meters.
