I usually refer to this, a tad incorrectly sometimes, as frazile ice. Technically, frazile ice is the slush formed in water that is just about to freeze into a solid sheet. Sometimes, the stuff you paddle through is snow or crushed ice and not exactly frazile. I have a dictionary that defines frazile as ice that forms on the bottom of a lake. Given that the densest water is above the freezing point and that the ice forming will float to the top, it's unlikely that this could happen.
