Ice volcanoes Great Lakes Bashny.Net

Great Lakes - is a system of lakes in the United States and Canada, filled with fresh water. It is the world's largest system of freshwater lakes on the area, which is 244,106 square kilometers.





However, the story goes about the greatness of the Great Lakes, and the unusual natural phenomenon, which is called the "ice volcanoes". As you can imagine, you can only watch them in the winter and during frost. The lakes are covered with a thick layer of ice. However, given the strong surf, waves wash away years from the inside. With strong vibrations waves, the water breaks the ice and knocked out water fountains. The name "ice volcanoes" quite by chance, as their structure is similar to a conventional volcanoes of our planet. The only difference is that instead of lava to the surface knocked ice water.
