When polar water is diluted by melting ice, the overall density of the water can decrease. Ice is less dense than liquid water, which is why it floats; when it melts, it adds water to the surrounding liquid without significantly increasing the mass. However, the temperature and salinity of the surrounding water can also affect density, but generally, melting ice leads to a less dense mixture compared to the original polar water.
