Floes [noun]

There's a clear passage through the floe, and clear water beyond, the lookout says.

No craft like the Grampus could work through a floe, What knots she could run, and what tons she could stow!

"Be ready, now," said Kit; when some one of the party on the floe fired on a sudden.

About seven o'clock we heard a splashing out along the floe.

We towed the carcass up to the edge of the floe, and pulled it up.

A number of men scrambled over the side on to a large piece of floe and handed up the ice.

A line of large grounded bergs and massive floe-ice was observed ahead trailing away from the ice-wall towards the north-west.

But the ship had come up with the solid floe-ice once more, and had to give way and steam along its edge.

Assisted by snow-ramps slanting down on to the floe, the ascent with ice-axes and alpine rope was fairly easy.

At noon we came up with the floe-ice again, in about the same latitude as on the western side of the long iceberg.
