From observing large areas of gray slushy ice disappear into the water, all at once, it seems to me the slush is both melting, losing buoyancy, and sinking, all at the same time.
Too big of an area of slush will disappear into the water, all at once, for it to be just melting, which leads me to think that the slush also sinks.
