Special natural phenomenon in outlying Maurik: ice pancakes.
Looking for beautiful winter images, I saw beautiful round shapes everywhere in the ice at the bottom of the dyke in the outskirts of Maurik.
These ice pancakes, or ice circles, form on top of flowing water when small ice particles clump together and start spinning. They collide against the current, always against each other. This creates the round shapes. Normally, ice pancakes float separately from each other, but these are frozen together. This is because the pancakes ended up outside the current.
This natural phenomenon is quite special though, you don't see it very often.
