Frozen Bubbles in Abraham Lake, Alberta, Canada by John S

Trapped methane causes frozen bubbles to form under the ice on the lake’s surface. This phenomenon results when decaying plants on the lake bed release methane gas, which creates bubbles that become trapped within the ice, in suspended animation, just below the surface as the lake begins to freeze. The visual effects formed by the resulting stacks of bubbles, frozen while rising toward the surface, combined with the clear blue of water, have made Abraham Lake a popular destination for photographers and nature observers.
