ooh... 8x12 ! Ok, we're talking aboveground pool cover territory. Basically you partially drain the pond, then put floats in the pond that will allow freeze compression , air pilllows. I always used empty and washed out milk jugs. Then cover with a tarp that is tightly attached around the pond so snow load doesn't pull it loose.
When spring comes, drain the cover with a siphon, and remove it. Pull the floats, and refill the pond all the way.
