The newest snapshot added Icebergs, which is presumably what those are.
That is pretty cool if they are made of Packed Ice, considering before you could only get that in an Ice Spike biome. In your second picture though the iceberg on the left seems to me made out of a different type of ice that hasn't been in the game before. I wonder what it could be?
Icebergs are made out of a completely new, never-before seen type of ice called blue ice. That's what the newest snapshot added, but I think icebergs themselves were first added in a prior snapshot.
I dunno if it melts, but you move faster on it than on packed/regular ice. The speed was originally fast enough to glitch out of your world, so unsurprisingly it was nerfed a little bit in 18w16a.
I found ice blocks with darker blue floating on water between birch forest, plains and deserts in snapshot 18w15a.
What is this?

Ya its blue ice.
any idea how blue ice behaves? Will it be similar to packed ice? That would be amazing

Does not melt with light.
Obtainable in survival from icebergs or by crafting from packed ice (requires Silk Touch to mine).
Fully solid block (can place torches, redstone, rails) and spawnable (as is packed ice).
