found: Athropolis Arctic library, via WWW, July 23, 2007(Ice floes are frozen masses of seawater (saltwater) that float on the surface of the sea. The term is applied to any relatively flat piece of sea ice that is free moving - unlike pack ice. Floes can be quite small or extremely large, and are termed according to horizontal size: Giant (over 10 km/6 mi across); Vast (2-10 km/1.5-6 mi across); Big (500-2000 m/1640-6500 ft across); Medium (100-500 m/330-1640 ft across); Small (20-100m/65-330 ft across))
