Why Ponds and Rivers Do Not Freeze Deeply
The Marine Journal explains that water is heaviest at 40 degrees F. When surface water cools to 40 F it sinks, cooling the whole body to 40 F before ice forms. Ice acts as a bad heat conductor, insulating the warm water below, so thick ice remains shallow even in the Arctic Ocean.
