February 04, 2021 In Kazakhstan, a large "ice volcano" has grown right in the middle of the steppe.

In summer in these places everything is in bloom and green, with the arrival of winter and intense cold this miracle of nature appears.

The effect of the eruption is achieved by the artesian water, which rises from the ground during sub-zero temperatures.

The height of such a natural sculpture can reach 14 meters.

Scientists explain its appearance in a simple way: artesian water gushes from the underground source, but freezes in the form of a column of ice.

The tiny particles of water emerging from the hole look like a vortex of steam.

Despite the fact that the attraction is quite far from the capital of Kazakhstan, it takes four hours by car, there is always a lot of people.

Everyone rushes to take pictures of the frozen volcano before the thaw.

Travel agencies also organize special excursions.

Every day more and more people come to admire the miracle of nature.

Children sled on the slopes.

And adults post beautiful photos and videos on the net.

Ice volcano: a hot water fountain that freezes in flight formed the natural phenomenon.
