👉 A skag is a type of ice floe that forms in the Arctic Ocean during periods of high sea ice. Skages are typically composed of small, spherical ice crystals and can be seen as white or gray patches on the surface of the water. They often appear in large numbers and can cover large areas of land or sea. Skags play a crucial role in the Arctic ecosystem by providing habitat for a variety of marine species, such as seals, whales, and krill.
