is a large floating platform of ice that forms where a glacier or ice sheet flows down to a coastline and onto the ocean surface ice shelves play an important role in slowing the flow of ice from glaciers or ice sheets into the ocean when ice shelves collapse research has shown that glaciers accelerate flowing into the ocean and adding to sea level rise explore ice shelves data learn more

seawater that floats on the surface of polar oceans and seas it grows during each hemisphere s winter and it retreats in the summer but does not completely disappear the highly reflective white surface of sea ice reflects solar energy cooling the planet when it melts the darker ocean absorbs more heat reinforcing the cycle of melting sea ice explore sea ice data learn more about sea ice
