floating ice

基本解釋

Rising Arctic temperatures have reduced floating ice cover by 20 percent over the last three decades.
在近三年間，北極地區(qū)不斷上升的氣溫已經(jīng)融化并減少了20%的浮動(dòng)冰層覆蓋。
The floating ice island could become frozen in place over winter or escape into the waters between Greenland and Canada.
到了冬天，這座浮冰島嶼可能會(huì)在某地凍結(jié)"拋錨"，也可能"擅闖"格陵蘭和加拿大之間的海域。

"We now know that there is relatively warm water beneath this floating ice, " observed Dr Dutrieux, "so this warm water could have been able to melt the base of the ice shelf.
“我們現(xiàn)在知道，這塊浮冰下面水溫相對(duì)較高，”杜特里奧博士觀察評(píng)論說(shuō)，“所以這些溫暖海水可能會(huì)融化冰架的底部。

Since the total mass of the ocean and ice remains unchanged during the melting process, this has often led to the erroneous assumption that sea level will be unaffected by the melting of floating ice, say geologists David Holland and Adrian Jenkins.
