It looks like it might be Lake Baikal. It’s a huge lake in Siberia that freezes over like this.

Considering how thick that ice is and how fast it’s moving, this is actually pretty terrifying.

It’s really cool to see in real time an example of how a glacier can erode the terrain though.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it’s too interesting, it doesn’t belong. If it’s not interesting, it doesn’t belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh… what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don’t spam.
