The answer would be false. As ice makes in the sea, the salt cannot mold part of the ice crystal so the ice is nearly pure water. The salt that is banned forms saline beneath the ice and becomes more and more salty up until it turn out to be so dense that it sinks, shifts less dense seawater that moves to the surface.
