Abstract
The article is dedicated to the mathematical model describing dependence of hummock dimensions on external conditions and time. Similar model can be useful for automatic routing systems of autonomous rescue craft (robot) in the Arctic region as a backup option in case of disconnection and loss of access to the real-time data on ice cover [1].
The article describes the operating principle of the model and notes the main simplifications. Also all the equations that the author used and the order of their use in the model are given. Further, in the article the results of numerical experiments obtained as a result of using this model are presented. The calculations were performed by means of numerical methods using an explicit finite-difference scheme.

Key words
Robot, hummock, math modeling, autonomous control.
