Floating Arctic Mass is a term used to describe a large mass of ice that is floating in the Arctic Ocean. It is also known as an ice FLOE, which is a four-letter word that is one of the solutions to the crossword puzzle. Ice floes are created when large chunks of ice break off from glaciers or icebergs and drift in the ocean. They can range in size from small pieces of ice to large masses that can be several miles wide. Ice floes are important to the Arctic ecosystem, providing habitat for wildlife and helping to regulate the ocean's temperature.
