So, meteorologist Ernie Ostuno in February 2020 came across cone-shaped mounds of ice on an Oval beach in Saugatuck, Michigan.
“It was a great day to visit the beach and see how the waves interact with the ice, and see a couple of ‘ice volcanoes,’ “the National Weather Service tweeted at the time.
According to Kort Sfolten, a specialist with the National Weather Service of Grand Rapids, “ice volcanoes” occur in places where waves with a certain dynamics beat against the accumulated ice, and often occur along coastlines.
“However, this” ice volcano ” near Almaty was formed on the top of a spring. In summer, this area is dotted with green vegetation due to an underground spring, ” the newspaper writes.
Recall that the “volcano”, also called the beautiful “iceberg” by Kazakhstanis, is located in the Kegen district of Almaty region between the villages of Kegen and Shyrganak. Locals and tourists from other regions of the country often come here to admire the wonder of nature. Thanks to the fine particles of water that are sprayed high into the sky ,the “iceberg” looks more like a smoking ice volcano.
