Clean the ice of Baikal

That's the ice met us Baikal in Khuzhir - smash and snow. Very unexpectedly :)



Mostly in surface bizarrely frozen chunks of ice



And only after driving about ten kilometers from the town we got on perfectly smooth ice



Ice everywhere ispolosovannaya lots of cracks



Color ice strongly dependent on light and space



A variety of forms of cracks creates an infinite number of subjects, and each year they receive different



I especially liked the frozen into ice bubbles



Mostly very large bubbles



Traces of snow man :)



Another type of bubbles



Loch Ness monster :)



Young ice and vmёrzshaya old icicle



Broken ice hummocks in a very bright blue color



Well, the person for scale



Sometimes pieces of ice washed ashore



And more bubbles



Small pieces of ice are absolutely transparent



Small pieces of ice melted to kruglyashey start sticking together and form a terribly slippery and rugged surface



But as cracks appear after a hot sunny day - there is a lot of small cracks, because of which eventually becomes opaque ice



Compare with normal winter ice



Cracks on the big blue ice floe hummock formed because of warm weather



Larger



Side view



Once I thought I saw all kinds of cracks, Baikal makes new



Ice lace



Ice cracks often offset, so that the edge of the old fractures are displaced along the new crack



And another hummock



Baikal smiley :)
