Residents
of a remote Russian village in the Arctic Circle were spectators to a
rare phenomenon when thousands of giant ice spheres formed on a beach on
the Gulf of Ob.
The ice balls formed near Nyda in Russia’s Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous region, around 900 miles northwest of Novosibirsk, Siberia.

The power of the wind and cold weather have been credited for forming the spherical ice boulders that reportedly have not been seen before in the region, according to local news organization Yamal Vesti. The same phenomenon has been reported on Lake Michigan during the last two winters.
