Technically speaking, one of the difficulties in studying such freely floating ice pieces is their self-propulsion nature, interfering with both simple implementation in numerical methods and observation in laboratories. We established a novel experimental system, consisting of real-time image processing to trace the ice motions, to measure the melting dynamics of freely floating ice. The experiments successfully demonstrated the theoretical prediction of ice melt rate, which co-validated the robustness of the system and the theory. We transferred its interpretation to the ice volume loss of a real iceberg.
