6 meters in diameter! A mysterious round ice disk reappears in China's cold pole. What kind of phenomenon is this?

A photography enthusiast captured a very peculiar natural phenomenon in Genhe, Inner Mongolia. This phenomenon is a circular ice disk with a diameter of 6 meters emerging from the water. It's like someone using an ice cutter to cut a smooth circle on the ice, and it will rotate counterclockwise with the flow of the river. This phenomenon is caused by the river below the water and the cold weather. When the ice fragments are gradually gathered together by the river, and continue to rotate through the turbulent flow of the river, they gradually form the shape of a circular ice disk. 1. The reason for the formation of the mysterious circular ice disk

An ice disk that continuously rotates counterclockwise appeared on the river in the western suburbs of Genhe City, Inner Mongolia. Its diameter reaches about 6 meters, and it will rotate counterclockwise as the river flows, as if someone had used an ice cutter to draw a circle on the cold ice. This phenomenon is caused by the conditions formed by the extremely cold climate and the rapids of the river. When the broken ice blocks are collected by the river, they gradually form a circle. After hundreds or even thousands of rotations, this ice disk becomes very smooth and flat. 2. Ice discs appear many times

This rare natural wonder is not the first time it has appeared. According to records, this spectacle appeared in the Yimin River in 2017; in 2019, it appeared in the Genhe Nan River. The scene of passing an ice disk with a diameter of 2 meters; in 2020, an ice disk spectacle also appeared in the South River of Fort Horri. This rare natural wonder often appears in extremely cold areas. In 1969, the Meteorological Bureau recorded the lowest temperature of minus 52.3 degrees Celsius in Mohe, Heilongjiang Province. In 2009, the extremely cold temperature of minus 58 degrees Celsius was measured in Genhe City, Inner Mongolia. Until now, Genhe in Inner Mongolia has been China's new cold pole, and this extreme minimum temperature has never been broken.

The strange sight of an ice disc with a diameter of 6 meters appears in Genhe River, Inner Mongolia. This phenomenon is inseparable from factors such as extremely cold climate and rapid river flow. Although the ice layer of the ice tray is relatively thick and can bear the weight of a person, this behavior is very dangerous and is therefore not recommended. Gradually, the temperature in the Genhe area gradually drops, and this strange scene will continue to appear in the river section of this area.
