Bubbly ice
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-004062
Ice that contains numerous small air pockets or bubbles trapped within its structure. This type of ice forms when water freezes rapidly, or when water containing dissolved gases or entrained air solidifies. The presence of these bubbles affects the optical and mechanical properties of the ice, making it less dense and more opaque than clear ice.
