Original title: what's the situation of tens of thousands of ice eggs on Finnish beach? The scene exposure is a spectacle
Recently, tens of thousands of ice eggs appeared on the beaches of Finland. The exposure of the scene is a spectacle, attracting countless people to watch. Many people said that this situation is almost invisible. Why are there so many ice eggs? How are these ice eggs formed? Let's take a look.
Ten thousand ice eggs on Finnish Beach
Recently, many ice eggs of the same size are rarely seen on the beach of the island of hailuotuo, Finland. The surface of these ice eggs is very smooth and orderly arranged on the beach, attracting many tourists to watch. According to local residents, this "ice egg" appeared for the first time in his life.
The island of hailuotuo, at the northernmost tip of the Baltic Sea, has seen a rare phenomenon recently. Round and milky ice balls appear on the beach, like a large "ice egg" in the sun. It is said that these "ice eggs" are arranged on the ground, as if they were made by human, covering a range of several square miles.
The cause of ice egg formation
When people are shocked, they also wonder why so many ice eggs suddenly appear? How did they form? According to the glacial expert jouni vanio of the Finnish Meteorological Research Institute, although such "ice eggs" are rare, their appearance is completely scientific.
Wanio said that the appearance of "ice eggs" requires a rare combination of air and water conditions close to the freezing point, in which the ice slowly gathers around small objects like concretion, which can be a piece of broken ice, a small stone or even a small drift. Under the right wind conditions, they are polished into smooth spheres by the waves.
Wanio also stressed that this spectacle can only last for a short period of time, and then either melt or condense into a large piece of ice. By then, one by one 'ice egg' will no longer be visible.
