Large piece of
frazil ice which was deposited at City Park, Williamsport, MD.
Frazil ice is the predominant type of ice found in rivers and
streams. This ice is only formed in areas of rapidly-moving
open water when the air temperature is below 20 degrees F.
Frazil ice crystals are very "sticky" and can form various ice
structures, such as this block. |
