shelf ice
Shelf ice is a floating sheet of ice that forms on larger bodies of water, such as oceans and large lakes, as a result of continuous freezing and expansion. This type of ice structure is usually found in the polar seas and can be several hundred meters thick. It is attached to the coastline and extends over the surface of the seawater, often acting as a barrier between the open ocean and the shore.
