So what's going on with the edges? They don't match. Are the fragments stacking because of the upflow? https://www.nasa.gov/image-feature/under-the-midnight-sun

I'm not positive but wouldn't the edges be most likely to melt and lose their "matching" features given the rapidness with which the ice itself is melting?

Maybe. But looking more closely, I'm pretty sure that fragments have shifted, rotated, and stacked.
