Arctic floaters are objects that float in the Arctic Ocean, such as floes, bergs, and icefloes. Floes are large pieces of floating ice that form when a sheet of ice breaks off from a glacier or an ice shelf. Bergs are large chunks of ice that have broken off from glaciers and are floating in the ocean. Icefloes are large pieces of floating ice that form when a sheet of ice breaks off from a glacier or an ice shelf and is then broken up by the waves and currents of the ocean.
