Second-year ice Old ice which has survived only one summer's melt; typical thickness up to 2.5 m and sometimes more. Because it is thicker than first-year ice, it stands higher out of the water. Ridged features as a result of melting during the preceding summer attain a smoothed rounded shape. In summer, numerous puddles of extended irregular shape form on its surface. Bare ice patches and puddles r usually greenish-blue. GCW Glossary 2023.03.27
Second-year ice Sea ice which has not melted in the first summer of its existence. By the end of the second winter it attains a thickness of 2 m and more. It stands higher out of the water than first-year ice. Summer melting has somewhat smoothed and rounded the hummocks, while accentuation of minor relief by differential melting may have caused others to develop. Bare patches and puddles are usually greenish-blue. GCW Glossary 2023.03.27
Second-year ice Sea ice that has survived only one summer melt season. GCW Glossary 2023.03.27
Second-year ice Old ice which has survived only one summer's melt. Because it is thicker and less dense than first-year ice, it stands higher out of the water. In contrast to multi-year ice, summer melting produces a regular pattern of puddles. Bare patches and puddles are usually greenish-blue. The regular pattern of puddles produced during the melt season is only a feature of Arctic se ice. Melt water does not usually accumulate on the surface of Antarctic sea ice. Second-year ice is the most common form of old ice present in Antarctica. GCW Glossary 2023.03.27
Second-year ice Old ice that has survived only one summer's melt. Because it is thicker and less dense than first-year ice, it stands higher out of the water. In contrast to multiyear ice, summer melting produces a r egular pattern of numerous small puddles. Bare patches and puddles are usually greenish-blue. GCW Glossary 2023.03.27
Second-year ice Sea ice terminology. Describes old ice which has survived only one summer's melt. Thicker than first-year ice, it stands higher out of the water. In contrast to multi-year ice, summer melting of secon d-year ice produces a regular pattern of numerous small puddles. In this case, bare patches and puddles are usually greenish-blue.

Second-year ice Sea ice which has not melted in the first summer of its existence; by the end of the second winter, it attains a thickness of 2 meters (6.6 feet) or more; it stands higher out of the water than first- year ice; summer melting has somewhat smoothed and rounded the hummocks, which accentuation of minor relief by differential melting may have caused others to develop; bare patches and puddles are usually greenish-blue.
