Still Waters Posted February 1, 2019 #1 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Floating discs of frozen foam known as "ice pancakes" have been spotted on a North Yorkshire river. Pictures of the unique spectacle on the River Swale in Richmond were captured by retired soldier Wayne Osmond. The crepe-like rounds form when surface foam freezes and the edges are rubbed away as they bump into one another. Ice pancakes are a relatively rare phenomenon that tend to occur in very cold oceans and lakes, according to the Met Office. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-york-north-yorkshire-47087778 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
