Wave action can break up the nilas into small mats 1-2 m across, which then bump into each other and form rounded shapes with raised edges, called pancake ice (Figure 14.1.2 C). If temperatures remain cold the pancake ice freezes together into solid ice floes, a hard surface covering the ocean (Figure 14.1.2 D). Ice floes then freeze together into ice fields.
