Stunning Frozen Bubbles

What are they?

There are more surprises in the nature than we can ever predict. These surprises are in the form of queer occurrences invented by nature’s incomprehensible creativity and boundless power. One such uncanny and bewildering design of nature is the Frozen Bubble.

Where are they found?

The Frozen Bubbles are found in Lake Abraham. It is an artificial lake that is situated on the North Saskatchewan river which is in Alberta in Canada. The lake has developed a sui generis situation where it gives rise to ‘Frozen Bubbles’.


Frozen Bubbles

How do they evolve?

The organic matters on the lake, which after the completion of their life cycle i.e., after they die, the dead bodies submerge into the water. These dead and decaying bodies are then fed upon by plentiful bacteria inhabiting at the bottom of the lake. Post digestion, these bacterium release methane gas around. This gas, when comes in contact of frozen water, results into the formation of white-coloured drops that eventually float on the lake. But due to low temperature the lake freezes entrapping these floating bubbles just below the lake surface. Thus you have ‘Frozen Bubbles’.
