Indeed this is a natural process. The salt crystals are of a different shape and density to those of water ice, and thus the salt will not be incorporated in sea water freezing. In the Antarctic, this salt is redeposited into the sea water, thus making it hyper-saline as well as dense.
AND the sea water into which it becomes dissolved, becomes much colder than the remainder of the seawater, because the salt dispelled from the surface ice will be much colder than the bulk seawater.
This then forms a hyper-saline current that is an important driver of oceanic mixing, and climate control.

yes. But if you drink a cup where at first it was filled with water and salt, you would taste most of the salt at the bottom because of the density.

Why does salt melt ice faster than sugar or sand?
Salt. Salt dissolves in water, and causes the freezing point to fall; this causes the ice to melt. Sugar does not have this effect, and chalk doesn't dissolve in water.
What is observable in salt in water?
An observable properties of salt and water as they combine in a mixture is that salt will dissolve in the water. You can see that this combination of the solute salt with water a solvent produces a homogeneous mixture.
Does salt dissolve in water?
Yes. Salt is known as soluble, meaning it will dissolve in water.
What two substances dissolve in water?
Salt and Sugar dissolve in water.
How does salt affect the melting and freezing point of water?
Salt decreases the freezing point of water and increases the boiling point of water.
Why does salt melt ice faster than sugar or sand?
Salt. Salt dissolves in water, and causes the freezing point to fall; this causes the ice to melt. Sugar does not have this effect, and chalk doesn't dissolve in water.
What happens if you put water into salt water?
Salt will dissolve in water. Adding salt will lower the temperature of water by a few degrees Celsius as well as lower the freezing point.
Why does salt can melt a ice cube faster than pepper?
Because salt dissolves into water. The resulting mix (salty water) has a lower freezing point.Pepper does not dissolve into water.
Does water and salt dissolve?
No, but salt does dissolve in water.
Which will dissolve in water salt sand or gravel?
Salt will dissolve in water

What do you get when you dissolve salt in water?
Salt water.
Does salt dissolve in water?

Does rock salt dissolve in water?
Yes. Rock salt, which is largely the same as table salt, will dissolve in water.
How fast does sugar dissolve in water and how fast salt dissolve in water?
The amount of time and speed it takes to dissolve sugar in water and dissolve salt in water depends on the amounts of salt and sugar, the amount of water, and the temperature of the water. The approximate time needed to dissolve the sugar and salt in water is 25 minutes.
Does salt dissolve candy?
Salt is a solid; water can dissolve candies.
