English

Subject field(s)
  • Glaciology
  • Geomorphology and Geomorphogeny
  • Meteorology
DEF

Floating ice which has become honeycombed in the course of melting, and which is in an advanced stage of disintegration.

CONT

The settling out of the brine gives sea ice a honeycomb structure which greatly hastens its disintegration when the temperature rises above freezing. In this state, when it is called rotten ice, much more surface is exposed to warm air and water, and the rate of melting is increased. In a day’s time, a floe of apparently solid ice several inches thick may disappear completely.
