1 March 2020 Pancakes

With a combination of bitter cold air temperatures and no wind, the surface of the ocean starts to freeze. Sometimes, small circular pieces of ice collide with their neighbors over and over again, which causes their edges to start to build up with crushed ice that also freezes solid. Eventually, the ice begins to look like thousands of floating pancakes- I give you PANCAKE ICE. Someone else came up with the term, which has its own entry in the 2017 Offline Wikipedia, but I can't say I love it- can you think a of a better name for ice that looks like this?

Pancake ice like this seen in the Amundsen Sea off the southwest coast of Antarctica on March 1, forms under cold, still conditions
