The frosty aura promotes the formation of interesting ice phenomena. One of them is the ice circle that appeared on the river in Biała Podlaska (Lublin Voivodeship). The extraordinary creation of nature was captured in the pictures and recording.
Poland is in the arms. Low The temperature causes interesting phenomena to form on watercourses. One of them is ice circles, also called ice drives, and colloquially also “ice pancakes”. Such an ice structure formed on the Krzno river in Biała Podlaska.
A rare phenomenon was captured on Monday in the pictures by Mr. Jan.

Ice circles – how are they made?
Ice drives, also called ice circles or “ice pancakes” are relatively rare structures that usually form in very cold oceans, lakes and rivers. The latter arise when the frozen foam on the surface of the water is imprisoned in a water whirl. Pieces of frozen foam and ice hit it, forming disks. In open waters, “pancakes” arise as a result of the breakdown of surface ice.
