You Wouldn't Believe What Scientists Found Frozen in Glaciers and Lakes

Boring Ice Patches

No, these ice patches are far from “boring,” in fact, they’re exciting! Some ice deposits can develop a similar density to that of the rock surrounding it. This causes the ice to “bore” down into the land it froze on top of, creating massive holes in the Earth’s crust. These holes generally develop into geysers or waterholes if there is a spring located nearby if not, they’re just regular old holes.
