View down: broken ice pieces on the Bow River, Calgary (March 2025)

Observed from a pedestrian bridge. Most of the ice blocks are about 0.5 to 1 metre long.

 

Ice jams like this are common in the spring, when the sheet of ice on the river warms and breaks up; the ice fragments are carried downriver and become crowded together at certain sites.
