Melt ponds are ponds of melted water on the Arctic ice that are making the ice melt more rapidly. They are not as reflective as ice or snow so they absorb more solar heat. Ponds have a reflection rate of 37% compared with ice's reflection rate of 85 to 90%. Melt ponds are found mostly on young one-year ice which is smoother.
