Rare ice pancakes form on Yorkshire river


Still Waters

Recommended Posts

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.
