A rapid accretion and a slow dissipation of latent heat of fusion favor the formation of a transparent ice coating, without air or other impurities. A similar phenomenon occurs when freezing rain or drizzle hits a surface and is called glaze. Clear ice, when formed on the ground, is often called black ice, and can be extremely hazardous.
Directional freezing can freeze water, from only one direction or side of a container, into clear ice. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Directional freezing in a domestic freezer can be done by putting water in a insulated container so that the water freezes from the top down, and removing before fully frozen, so that the minerals in the water are not frozen.
Glaze [1] or glaze ice, also called glazed frost or verglas, [2] [3] is a smooth, transparent and homogeneous ice coating occurring when freezing rain or drizzle hits a surface. [4] It is similar in appearance to clear ice, which forms from supercooled water droplets. It is a relatively common occurrence in temperate climates in the winter when ...

Black ice on a road in Germany. Black ice, sometimes called clear ice, is a coating of glaze ice on a surface, for example on streets or on lakes. The ice itself is not black, but visually transparent, allowing the often black road below to be seen through it and light to be transmitted. The typically low levels of noticeable ice pellets, snow ...
The incorrigible extraterrestrial from the hit Disney movie, dressed in a Hawaiian shirt, has movable ears and a turning head, a buildable ice cream cone that the character can hold and a ...
Rime ice also forms when ice forms on the surface of an aircraft, particularly on the leading edges and control surfaces when it flies through a cloud made of supercooled water liquid droplets. Rime ice is the least dense, milky ice is intermediately dense and clear ice is the most dense. All forms of ice can spoil lift and may have a ...
