Islands of thin ice were floating on Walden Pond today. As we were walking I heard an odd sound and so we stopped and stood quietly. You could hear the ice starting to move and then all of a sudden, out of nowhere, sheets of ice started to be pushed towards us, sliding on top of each other and then dramatically up onto the shore. The sudden raucous crashing and breaking sounds stopped as quickly as they started, about a minute later and then peace returned to the pond. Cool!
Around the corner in the next cove we found the "lizard skin ice" again, making strange patterns of clear and cloudy frozen water. It reminds me of the skin on those Star Trek characters.
