Ice mélange refers to a mixture of ice and water, specifically in the context of glacial and oceanic environments. It commonly describes a combination of different forms of ice, such as sea ice, icebergs, and glacial ice, often found in polar or subpolar regions. Ice mélange is particularly relevant in glacial environments, where it can occur in the areas around a glacier's terminus (the part of the glacier that meets the sea or a lake).
