Incredible Frozen Air Bubbles At Abraham Lake, Canada

Abraham Lake is an artificial lake on North Saskatchewan River in western Alberta, Canada. The lake was created in 1972, with the construction of the Bighorn Dam, and named after Silas Abraham, an inhabitant of the Saskatchewan River valley in the nineteenth century.


Abraham Lake is home to a rare phenomenon where bubbles get frozen right underneath its surface. They're often referred to as ice bubbles or frozen bubbles. This has made the lake famous among photographers.


High amounts of methane gas released by the plants on the lake bed produce lots of air bubbles in the water, and when the lake freezes, the bubbles get trapped just beneath the surface.
