Studies of supported water clusters provide a means for understanding the initial stages of heterogeneous ice nucleation in diverse areas as atmospheric chemistry and astrophysics. Despite the importance of non-perfect ice structures in these fields, research focused on crystalline ice structures. Here, we report real-space observations of fractal ice islands grown between 89K and 119K. The island...
