Stunning footage of churning ice needles on the shores of a lake

  • 8 years ago
Amazing footage has emerged from Quebec, Canada, of ice needles churning together on the shores of a lake.

The video, filmed this month, shows the ice stacks creating a jingling sound as they churn over each other, in a phenomenon which occurs when warming temperatures cause a once solid mass of ice to splinter into fine, glass-like shards.

"The ice from a lake started to rush onto the beach and broke into small cylindrical shapes," the filmer later wrote online.

"The sound it makes was amazing - Mother nature hard at work."
