The molecular structure of the wetting layer of ice on Pt(111) is resolved using scanning tunneling microscopy. Two structures observed previously by diffraction techniques are imaged for coverages at or close to completion of the wetting layer. At 140 K only a root 37 x root 37R25.3 degrees superstructure can be established while at 130 K also a root 39 x root 39R16.1 degrees superstructure with slightly higher molecular density is formed. In the temperature range under concern the superstructures reversibly transform into each other by slight changes in coverage through adsorption or desorption. The superstructures exhibit a complex pattern of molecules in different geometries.
