Imagine the surface of the frozen pond. Smooth ice cover, durable and smooth, shining in the sun. Presented? Now imagine that on the surface of the reservoir lies a thick layer of ice, and... a separate round of ice pancakes!

Formed pancake ice (pancake ice) of snow porridge (yet it is called "white fat"), consisting of mild flavor snow. It is formed on the surface of a pond when the air temperature is close to zero. If the temperature drops and the snow falls, "snow" is a snow covered shell and forms Seguro. Then the process connects the wind, which shares saguru into separate parts. The formed fragments freeze. At the final stage, the wind and ice cold water grind the ice, giving them a round shape, so similar to pancakes.

The diameter of the pancakes can vary from 30 cm to 3 meters, and their thickness is about 10 cm And it's worth noting that none of the pancakes, created by mother nature, does not come out lumpy.
