Ice in a transitional state between nilas and first-year ice, and which is 10 – 30 cm thick. Can be divided into grey ice and grey-white ice. The term is also more generally used to describe all ice with a thickness of between 10 and 30 cm (and in the formation and growth of young ice). Normally, these differences are clear thanks to the context.
