Ice thickness is never uniform—areas near shorelines, flowing water, rocks, or submerged objects freeze unevenly because moving water transfers heat faster and prevents solid ice formation. Clear blue or black ice is usually stronger than white or cloudy ice, which contains trapped air and snow, reducing its load-bearing capacity by up to
