Ice Circle

[margravelucian]

October the 30th.

The largest ice circle ever photographed was photographed by accident. A man (Torgny Johansson) playing with his drone up by the Kalix River, didn’t realise what was actually in the river, massive and silently rotating, until he checked the pictures and found it.

No-one knows what really causes ice circles (currents?) but I’m sure we can all agree that they are both terrifying and brilliant.

This weekend, word spread 

...via Facebook that a large circle of ice was spinning in small river just outside of Seattle. After seeing a quick video of it in her feed, photographer Kaylyn Messer jumped in her car and was fortunate to witness the incredible sight of this gargantuan ice disc as it spun in the current of the Middle Fork Snoqualmie River.

“The ice circle was pretty captivating,” Messer shared with Colossal. “You can hear the sound of the river flowing continuously. Sounds from the ice periodically interjected with very small sharp cracks and groans. Overall, it was a quiet experience to stand along the river watching the ice circle rotate.”
