Frazil ice was seen this morning in Yosemite Creek! Frazil ice forms when mist (for example, from a waterfall) freezes, then floats down the creek. This unique phenomenon can occur in fall, winter, or spring, as long as there is relatively high flow over waterfalls and Yosemite Valley has overnight lows below freezing. Since this phenomenon is entirely weather-dependent, it's difficult to predict in advance. | Yosemite National Park

After significant rain and snow, the valley was clear and cold this morning. As the sun warmed the face of Yosemite Falls, chunks of ice could be heard crashing to the rocks below or seen falling if one were lucky or patient. The falls were mostly ice-free by midday. | Yosemite National Park

Candle ice forms through a process known as "frazil ice growth." Frazil ice consists of loose, randomly oriented ice crystals that aggregate to form larger structures. In the case of candle ice, these crystals freeze into vertical columns. This beautiful type of ice forms in frigid conditions when there is a combination of low temperatures and calm water. 🌊❄️🧊 🎥 @mddyelrck #candleice #candleicelake #frozenlake #thenaturefoundation #tnf #conservation #photography #wildlifephotography #naturesh

Nusa Frame on Instagram: "Di musim dingin, Air Terjun Yosemite berubah jadi negeri es. Fenomena ini disebut frazil ice — terbentuk dari turbulensi air yang sangat dingin. Kristal-kristal kecil muncul saat air bersuhu di bawah titik beku tapi tetap mengalir deras, jadi nggak sempat membeku padat. Nah, keajaiban ini pertama kali diamati di Yosemite dan sering muncul di Yosemite Creek setiap akhir musim dingin. Sejak awal 1900-an, para ahli hidrologi menjadikannya objek penelitian penting untuk mem

🌍❄️ The Last Ice of Yosemite ❄️🌍 For more than 20,000 years, glaciers clung to Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. They survived the end of the Ice Age and every warm period since humans arrived in North America. Now they are collapsing. New research shows these glaciers never fully disappeared during the entire Holocene. That makes today’s retreat unprecedented. Within this century the Sierra Nevada could be completely ice free for the first time in human history. This is more than a change on th

Shortshiksha on Instagram: "This stunning pattern is created by a phenomenon known as frazil ice and shard ice formation. When a lake’s surface cools extremely fast—often overnight—the top layer freezes into thin, brittle sheets. As temperatures keep dropping, the ice contracts and cracks, forming thousands of sharp, plate-like fragments. 🌡️❄️ Wind and water currents then push these fragments together, stacking them in overlapping layers that look like shattered glass or frozen scales.
