Here's an enhanced portion of the ice patch. The thickness, at least in this area, is nowhere near 200 metres and if it was a frozen lake it would form a flat surface. Here, you can see that the white ice/snow/whatever follows the contours of the topography. It even clings to the vertical cliff faces. And it overlies a similar but dustcovered lobe.
