One of the only substances where the solid, crystalline form (ice) has a lower density than the liquid form (water). Which is why ice floats on top of water, which is why rivers, lakes, and ponds stay \u201calive\u201d in the winter, which is one of the reasons life on Earth is possible. You see. Strange stuff, and vitally important. This is what it looks like when the physics of rapidly moving water and cold air temperatures are given a few days to play. And who says nature does not have a sense of humor\u2026or even a sense of style! Sony a6700. Sigma 16-300 at 450mm equivalent field of view. Intelligent Auto with Landscape Scene Mode.
