In early 2021, a cold spell hit the Japanese archipelago. Recently, it has been frigid throughout various regions of the country. And on the northern island of Hokkaido, of course, it is snowy. As such, A Twitter user who lives in Hokkaido discovered an interesting snow phenomenon. One day, user Wise Camera(@Wise Camera) went to Lake Akan in Kushiro and was surprised by what he saw. Fortunately, he snapped a picture.
"There are “ice bubbles” in Lake Akan which has frozen. It’s an amazing sight. It almost seems like time has stopped."
Indeed, it’s a very mysterious image! “Ice bubbles” are made from gas arising from the bottom of a lake. These bubbles then become trapped in the ice as it freezes. When there is too much snowfall—as there often is in Hokkaido—the sight is also obstructed from view. So, Wise Camera lived up to his name. His timing was particularly impressive.
His followers reacted:
Nature is indeed dynamic and surprising. The appearance of Akan lake changes with the season. It’s very rare to see the lake in such a condition, let alone snap a picture of it.
