Ice Patterns
The patterns in the ice formed on large lakes are often interesting and show various stages of formation. Here the ice at the top and bottom of the photo consists of innumerable small crystals that froze together into a solid mass. The larger crystals formed in cracks or fissures in the sheets of the fine-grained ice.
