Recently, as the temperature continues to drop, a spectacle of ice flowers has appeared on the ice of Bosten Lake in Xinjiang, which has lasted for about a week in the local area.
On the vast frozen lake, against the backdrop of the ice flowers and the blue sky, the crystal clear ice flowers are like a world of ice and snow.
According to local people, ice flowers appear on the lake on time during March and April every year.
It is reported that the main reason for the formation of the spectacle of ice flowers in Bosten Lake is that the temperature dropped sharply in a short period of time, and the supercooled saturated water vapor on the ice surface touched the clean and smooth ice surface, causing "ice flowers" to slowly grow on the ice surface.
