Certain natural phenomenon can boggle our minds but upon closer inspection, we will be able to find a scientific explanation as to why such things happen. Recently, a huge ice disk has formed on a river in Maine.
This rare phenomenon, a frozen Lazy Susan if you will, is not without precedent. In 2017, a family hiking in the Adirondacks discovered a similarly perfectly round (though much, much smaller) ice bog, and were stunned by their good fortune. These ice disks result from a perfect storm of flow and changing water temperatures, but the rotating happens when they begin to melt.
