基本释意：
noun
a flat mass of ice (smaller than an ice field) floating at sea
浮冰；大浮冰
同义词：
ice floe
短释义：
A floe can vary in size from small to giant, but they differ from icebergs in their relative lack of depth. When you spot an iceberg, it’s often just the tip of what’s there, but with a floe, what you see is what you get. The floe edge is where the ice that is still attached to the land, having frozen over the winter months, meets the sea. When the floe edge fractures, the ice floe floats out to sea.
浮冰是漂浮在海洋中的一大块自由漂浮的扁平冰块。请注意：如果您在北极，您可能会与北极熊和其他北极生物一起被困在浮冰上。

浮冰的大小可以从小到大不等，但它们与冰山的不同之处在于它们相对缺乏深度。当你看到一座冰山时，它通常只是冰山的一角，但对于浮冰，你所看到的就是你得到的。浮冰边缘是仍然附着在陆地上、在冬季结冰的冰与大海的交汇处。当浮冰边缘破裂时，浮冰就会漂浮到海里。
