Shelf Ice

Shelf ice refers to a thick sheet of ice that forms along the shoreline or surface of a body of water, such as a lake or sea. It is typically formed by freezing of the water's surface, and can extend several meters in thickness. Shelf ice may develop in frigid regions during the winter months, posing challenges to navigation and outdoor activities.
