Bubble photographer

On February 25th, 65438, the photographer photographed the ice bubble landscape in Sailimu Lake, Bortala Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang. It is crystal clear and amazing. According to reports, the ice bubble landscape is formed by the rapid freezing of methane released by rotten plants at the bottom of the lake during floating, which is a very rare natural wonder.

Sailimu Lake is a provincial scenic spot. It is an alpine lake with the highest altitude, the largest area and beautiful scenery in Xinjiang. When traveling to Xinjiang, the only place with high altitude is here, with an altitude of 207 1.9 meters. What is high reaction? It is an uncomfortable symptom that the human body quickly enters an altitude of 3000 meters and is exposed to low pressure and hypoxia. Although the difference is less than 1000 meters, some tourists with special physique will still feel uncomfortable in Sailimu Lake.

Ice bubbles are uncommon. Temperature, aquatic plants and strong winds are essential. The sudden drop in temperature caused the lake to freeze instantly, and the methane generated by the decay of aquatic plants was frozen when it rose, forming such a spectacular ice bubble landscape. But it also needs the wind to sweep across the lake, and this spectacle can be displayed. Due to the harsh conditions for the formation of ice bubbles, there are not many lakes in the world where ice bubbles can be seen. The most famous is Abraham Bubble Lake. Lake Baikal has no towering snow-capped mountains, and the vast lake lacks the beauty of ice bubbles.

The ice bubbles in Lake Selimu are more beautiful than those in Lake Baikal and no less beautiful than those in Lake Abraham. Lake Sailimu, which freezes in winter, is like a clear blue sky. The ice bubbles embedded in it are like fairy tales. Sailimu Lake is the highest and largest alpine lake in Xinjiang. It is called the last tear of the Atlantic Ocean, because it is the last place where warm and humid air flows out of the Atlantic Ocean. Every winter, under the blue ice surface of Sailimu Lake, there are countless ice bubbles, like countless golden lotus flowers inlaid with sapphires, shining like stars. The ice cubes stand upright, the ice water is blue, and the ice bubbles are elegant, as if the deep earth breath overflows from the bottom of the lake, giving the quiet Sailimu Lake the rhythm of life. The beauty and magic of nature often require no rules. Ice bubbles spit, fold and float freely like notes. The imprisoned ice bubble is a magical gift given by nature in the ice and snow season.
