How does floating ice around a glacier slow its disappearance?
Floating ice around a glacier, often in the form of icebergs or sea ice, acts as an insulating barrier that reduces heat exchange between the warmer ocean water and the glacier. This insulation helps to slow down the melting of the glacier's ice face where it meets the water. Additionally, the presence of floating ice can obstruct the flow of warmer currents, further protecting the glacier from accelerated melting. Consequently, this floating ice can significantly prolong the lifespan of the glacier.
