floes and floe ice
winter
Ice floes.
Ice floes are frozen masses of seawater (saltwater) that float on the surface of the sea. The term is applied to any relatively flat piece of sea ice that is free moving.
These are pieces of ice, as in iceberg. Here are some sentences.The floes broke away from the iceberg and floated out to sea.Ice floes are good resting places for penguins and seals.The ice floe drifted into the path of a passing ship.

Penguins sleep on ice, either on Antarctica's beaches where they breed, or on ice floes in open water.

Snows, goes, floes (as in ice floes), toes, shows, etc.
When sea water freezes, the salt is left behind (this is called brine rejection), so ice floes and icebergs are generally composed of fresh water. There have been various schemes to tow icebergs to drought stricken countries, but no one has ever done it yet.
An ice-cap stays in the same place - it may grow or shrink, but it stays essentially in the same place all the time. An ice-floe is mobile.
