This is what one sees up north when there is a flood in the winter during freezing weather, then the water subsides before temperatures warm up. This example (source unknown) is extreme, but you can see the same phenomenon on the edges of woodland meltwater ponds.
Wow, really cool and interesting photo. Winter makes for some really bizarre phenomena!

ReplyDeleteOne of only a few words in English that end in -uum
I intended it as the plural, because of the multiple items. It depends on whether one views it as "the ice is..." or "the pieces of ice are..."
