Amazing
striped icebergs - A
MUST-SEE
Icebergs in Lake Winnipeg (Province of Manitoba, Canada) sometimes have stripes, formed by layers of snow that react to different conditions.
Blue
stripes are often created when a crevice in the
ice sheet fills up with melt water and freezes
so quickly that no bubbles form.
When an
iceberg falls into the lake, a layer of water
can freeze to the underside. If this is rich in
algae, it can form a green stripe.
Brown,
black and yellow lines are caused by sediment,
picked up when the ice sheet grinds downhill
towards the lake.
Frozen Wave
Pixs - Nature is amazing!
The water
froze the instant the wave broke through the
ice. That's what it is like in Lake Winnipeg where it is the
coldest weather in decades. Water freezes the instant
it comes in contact with the air. The temperature of the
water is already some degrees below freezing.

Just look
at how the wave froze in mid-air!!!
Having the Internet means that we get to see something
that we never imagined! Pass it on for others to enjoy
