The Dragonskin Ice was seen for the first time 10 Years ago in the Antarctica. It was a mystery how this Kind of Ice formed. It looks a bit like microscopic plates.
Now australian Scientists on their Scienceboat did witness the creation of Dragonskin Ice. Itīs a rare phenomenon. It formes when there are high winds and medium sized waves and its really cold.

IMAS - Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies:
An autumn voyage to the heart of an Antarctic polynya has rewarded expeditioners on a US icebreaker, including IMAS researcher Dr Guy Williams, with a glimpse of a rarely seen type of sea ice.
The sighting of Dragon-skin ice was an early highlight of an ongoing voyage to the Ross Sea by the Nathan B Palmer that began in early April, well after most Antarctic expeditioners have departed for warmer climes.
