Yes, ice can form in ocean water. However, it must be colder than 0 degrees Celsius or 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
The salt in the ocean water inhibits freezing and makes ocean water freeze at a colder temperature than fresh water.
In fact, it must be approximately -2 degrees Celsius (or 31 degrees Fahrenheit) for most ocean water to freeze if it is perfectly still. If the water is rough or moving, it must be colder.
Small Addition/sidenote (AY12345): Ocean water is a solution of salt water. Whenever a salt is present in water, the freezing point lowers due to the presence of ions (this phenomenon is known as freezing point depression). A good application of this is during winter. When the roads are slick with snow/ice, salt is usually placed on roads to prevent further freezing.
What else can I help you with?
How is 90 degrees north latitude different from 90 degree south latitude?
Both are on ice but under the ice of one is land while under the ice of the other is ocean.
Does the north pole have solid land under it?
No. The North Pole is located on a floating polar ice cap.
What are the rivers of ice in antarctica called?
i think the rivers of ice in Antarctica are called glaciers.
Where is fresh water found as found as ice in?
Fresh water is found as ice in glaciers, ice caps, and icebergs. These large bodies of ice form when snow accumulates over time and compacts into ice under high pressure, creating a source of fresh water when melted.
Which regions have no landmass under the ice the north pole or the south pole?
The North Pole, as it is an imaginary point on the Arctic Ice Cap, which floats on top of the Arctic Ocean.

What is the Ross Ice Shelf?
The Ross ice Shelf is a floating ice shelf connected to the Antarctic continent, that is about the size of France. The ocean under the shelf has never been explored.
Does the north pole have solid land under it?
No. The North Pole is located on a floating polar ice cap.
Why is Antarctica not considered as the ocean?
Antarctica is the name of this southern-most continent. It is covered by polar ice. You might be confused by the fact that there is no land under the polar ice in the north. The Arctic is the name of an ocean; Antarctica is the name of a continent surrounded by the Southern Ocean.
WHERE DO the ATLANTIC OCEAN AND PACIFIC OCEAN MEEET?
In the waters between South America and Antarctica. Also in the waters under the North Pole (which is floating ice).
Why in pole water under ice exist?
If you are asking about the North Pole, it is because it can be found on the Arctic Ice Sheet which forms on top of the Arctic Ocean.

Which planet has a moon with a possible ocean water under a crust of ice?
Jupiter's moons - Europa and Ganymede possibly have oceans of liquid water under their crust. Saturn's moon - Enceladus also has a possible ocean of water under it's crust.
Which region has no mass under the ice the North Pole or the South Pole?
The North Pole. It sits on a floating ice sheet.The North Pole is not on a continent. It is on a very large floating ice sheet in the Arctic Ocean.You'll find the North Pole in the Arctic Ocean.
