This is why I'm so grateful for YouTube. I probably won't be able to experience all of natures anomalies like I wish to. This is next best. Ty for sharing, truly

The pure bliss in his laughter. Mother nature is beautiful.

Me: wow so beautiful!!
My brain: 𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘁.

The sound, the scenery, the ice sticks, the happy laugh … 10/10 💫

Those long ice crystals are delightful to find in a mild winter. Very blessed indeed

This is called chandeliering. It happens in Ontario lakes and rivers in the early spring.

Wow! Thanks for the 10k + likes. It’s my pleasure to put you onto this unforgettable phenomenon, and I hope you get to experience it one day.

As some folks have noted, it happens all over the world; for me, I had a chance to play with this kind of ice while on an early spring canoe trip with @thelandcanadianadventures. We pushed our big Voyageur boat as far into the crystals as possible until it couldn’t move forward anymore, and then everyone just played around with it. We plunged our paddles in and brought them up covered in a new coat jangly ice.
We had to back out and portage around the oxbow of the lake until the water opened up again and we could resume paddling.

Ice chandeliering is a phenomenon that occurs when multiple layers of ice form on top of each other, creating a fragile, layered structure. Here's a clear and simple explanation of how it happens:
1. Initial Ice Formation: When the temperature drops below freezing, the surface of a body of water (like a lake or river) begins to freeze, forming a layer of ice.
2. Water Seeping Through: Sometimes, cracks or holes develop in the ice layer. Water from below the ice can seep through these cracks.
3. Refreezing: When the seeping water comes into contact with the cold air above the ice, it freezes, forming a new layer of ice on top of the original one.
4. Repeat Process: This process can happen multiple times. Each time water seeps through and freezes, a new layer of ice forms. These layers stack on top of each other, creating a multi-layered, fragile structure that resembles a chandelier.
5. Chandelier Appearance: The term "chandeliering" comes from the way these layers of ice look. They can appear delicate and intricate, much like the crystals in a chandelier.
Important Points:
• Ice chandeliering typically occurs in conditions where there is a cycle of melting and refreezing.
• It often happens in late winter or early spring when daytime temperatures are above freezing, causing some melting, and nighttime temperatures drop below freezing, causing refreezing.
• The resulting ice structure is usually very fragile and can break easily.
Understanding ice chandeliering can be important for safety, as these structures can be hazardous for anyone walking on the ice.

Just being able to float there and listen to the birds and the wind would be the best thing that’s happened to me in a long time. How incredible.

[hahaha]

I would have never seen this in my life without it posted here.
Today's world is marvellous.
