| Mar 4, 2021 at 12:09 | comment | added | Alchimista | Well the ice certainly starts by a sort of slurry, isn't? Kind of "onion stuff" finally meeting to form the pool plate. I think is something between boundaries rather than along a crystal plane... | |
| Mar 4, 2021 at 12:06 | comment | added | noughtnaut | @alchimista thanks! This structure is pretty uniform across the entire surface of the water, not localised to one part, so I'm afraid I don't buy the "seed" argument. | |
