Last November in Finland, a photographer
captured a rare sight: ice eggs! Risto Mattila was visiting Hailuoto Island in
the Bay of Bothnia when he discovered the amazing phenomenon, thousands of
spherical chunks of ice covering the beach. Ice eggs are rarely seen because
the conditions have to be just right for them to form.
That means temperatures below zero, lots
of wind, saltwater, and good timing. Ice eggs form when ocean saltwater starts
to freeze. The little chunks of ice then get pushed around by the wind, which
smoothes them into round balls. Finally, the high tide has to deposit them onto
the shore before temperatures get too warm.
去年十一月，芬蘭有一位攝影師捕捉到了一個罕見景象
── 冰蛋！瑞斯托•瑪堤拉造訪位於波斯尼亞海灣的海盧奧托島時，發現了這驚人的現象，數以千計的圓球狀冰塊覆蓋著海灘。冰蛋很少見，因為其形成的條件必須要非常剛好。
這代表著溫度得低於零度、風要很大而且時機要對。冰蛋在海洋的鹹水開始結冰時形成。這些小塊的冰接著會被風推來推去，使它們變得平滑而成為圓球。最後在溫度變得過高前，它們會隨漲潮而留置於岸上。
