Weathered ice
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-010190
Ice that has undergone changes in its physical properties and appearance due to exposure to atmospheric elements such as sun, wind, and temperature fluctuations. This process can lead to a reduction in density, increased porosity, and a more granular or rounded surface texture. Weathered ice is common in older sea ice and glaciers.
