Icebergs in Lake Michigan 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 Michigan
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!
