frazil or grease ice

Spanish translation: cristales iniciales de hielo

13:28 Mar 5, 2007

English to Spanish translations [PRO] Environment & Ecology
English term or phrase: frazil or grease ice Some computer models predict that by 2080 the artic ice cover will completely disappear in summer. There will be no need for an icebreaker. It will then be possible to sail or row your way to the North Pole. Today, ice starts with . In quiet conditions, the frazil crystals soon freeze together to form a continuous thin sheet of young ice. When it is still transparent, it is called nilas. When only a few centimeters thick it is transparent and is called dark nilas. As the ice grows thicker the nilas takes on a gray and finally a white appearance. Once nilas has formed, a quite different growth process occurs, in which water molecules freeze on to the bottom of the existing ice sheet.
