Frequently ice cubes have a clouded appearance. What is the cause of this?
Rapid freezing of the ice cubes results in a distorted crystalline structure
Ice is less dense than liquid water, which results in an opaque appearance
The white color results from variations in pressure
Oxygen and other dissolved gasses become trapped in the water as it freezes
