Re: Ice Pancake
Wikipedia - "ice circle"
An ice disc/disk or ice circle is a rare natural phenomenon that occurs in slow moving water in cold climates. They are thin and perfectly circular slabs of ice that rotate slowly in the water. It is believed that they form in eddy currents...Ice discs form on the outer bends in a river where the accelerating water creates a force called 'rotational shear', which breaks off a chunk of ice and twists it around. As the disc rotates, it grinds against surrounding ice
