Hey, guys.
So, Windows threw a picture at me today upon signing in that I can’t make sense of. It’s from Lago Bianco in Switzerland but beyond that, their little widget gave no further information.
Upon a bit of research I found out that apparently it’s ice. But can someone please explain to me why it looks like [this](https://live.staticflickr.com/447/32083473682_6e6ba32005_n.jpg)?
Someone on Pinterest called it “ice bubbles”, another photographer said that apparently at night, when the ice settles, it hits the ground and creates eerie sounds like you’d expect from a stone mine somewhere close.
I can’t make sense of what I’m looking at here and would appreciate if someone could explain this phenomenon to me. How come there’s layers? Why is it round?
