Amazing Frozen Bubble Lake of Canada
Ice bubbles in Abraham Lake, located at the foot of the Rocky Mountains in Canada - famous for its unusual ice cover
It’s an amazing natural sight at Abraham Lake the Frozen bubbles under the ice. The explanation of the rare phenomenon is: “The plants on the lake bed release methane gas and methane gets frozen once coming close enough to much colder lake surface and they keep stacking up below once the weather gets colder and colder during [the] winter season.”
Located at the foot of the Rocky Mountains on the North Saskatchewan River, the rare phenomenon occurs each winter in the man-made lake. The simple nature of the ice bubbles composition makes the images even more remarkable and almost appears to look more like a painting than a graph.
But they are in fact taken by a 40-year-old American grapher, Chip Phillips, who has simply snapped the results by walking onto the frozen lake.
Ice bubbles occur during the months of November and March when the lake is completely frozen over, the plants on the lake bed release methane gas, which freezes as it comes closer to the cold lake surface.
