white ice has a high concentration of air bubbles,which scatter the sun light back out of the ice before the light has passed through a large distance in the ice,so the ice opaque. since little or no light is absorbed by he ice, the light leaving the ice is white!!
The poles on Mars are primarily white in color. This is because they are composed mostly of frozen carbon dioxide (dry ice) and water ice. The combination of these frozen substances gives the poles their distinctive white appearance.
Ceres appears white and blue due to its surface composition, which likely contains a mixture of water ice and various minerals. The white color comes from the highly reflective nature of ice, while the blue color could be attributed to the presence of certain minerals on its surface.
A fog of water vapour.The dry ice boils away as invisible carbon dioxide and as it does it freezes the water vapour rising off the water surface to make a mist
Actually, very large amounts of ice have a very pale blue color. But the outer layer of an iceberg or glacier consists of ice with a lot of air, giving it a white color. Same reason that snow is white.
Glaciers can appear to be white, blue, or even black. They can look white when covered in snow, blue due to ice compression, or black from debris and sediment.
The "color" white is simply the reflection of all other visible wavelengths of light. Snow is frozen water. The "white" is ice, which melts above 32 degrees Fahrenheit, or 0 degrees Celsius.
When ice melts, the white color disappears because the ice is made up of frozen water molecules, which are clear in their liquid form. The white appearance of ice is due to the air bubbles trapped within the ice structure, which scatter light and create the white color.

Ice Cubes look white, because water is clear. So, when it is frozen it turns white, it's natural color. If you froze dyied water it would froze the colr it was dyied.
It's because of air bubbles in the water. When you freeze the water, air bubbles will get stuck inside the ice,which also is the cause of it's white color

Water is what it is it's color is caused by what is or is not in it. Ice is made of crystals when light hits them it is refracted like a prisms all colors are reflected out at once, all colors coming out at the same time is seen as white

On a nice day, clouds can appear white or light grey due to the scattering of sunlight by water droplets or ice crystals in the atmosphere.
Here is the answer:The center of an ice cube is white because it is full of bubblesand other defects like cracks and boundaries between ice crystals. Cold water, from the faucet or in an ice tray, will freeze cloudily. Warm water, from the faucet or in an ice tray, will freeze clear. I have no clue why. I tried it one day and it worked. They are found in the center more than at the surfaces because the the water freezes from the outside in, and at a fairly slow rate.This allows the outer ice to solidify with fewer cracks and defects thanthe later ice. Hard water contains minerals like calcium that condense when frozen, which will cloud up ice cubes. As water freezes, dissolved air is forced out as a gas, which forms bubbles. These bubbles are trapped in the ice, making it look opaque.One additional item: ice and ice cubes can be made clear using the right water (clean and not aerated) and the right rate of freeze. If you have ever seen a nice ice sculpture, you know big blocks of ice can be pretty clear, but they usually dont' stay that way.--matt
Blue and white clouds on Mars are primarily made of water ice crystals or carbon dioxide ice crystals. The color variations in the clouds are caused by the scattering of sunlight through the different ice particles in the Martian atmosphere.
