Rare natural phenomenon - ice flowers


Flowering occurs as soon as the temperature drops below -20 ° C, and the water temperature of about 0 C: then created near the surface of the ice is extremely saturated with water vapor layer. Weather thus should be windless. Water vapor, ice touching air and immediately cooled on ice deposited as tiny ice crystals. Almost immediately on ice crystal ice is going to salt, the content of which is 4 times higher than in the salty sea.
