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.

The moment when the big triangle bloc tips over and all the snow splatters on the ground. Soooo satisfying.

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

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.
