Man Discovers Waterfall That Naturally Forms Perfect Ice Balls
A 25-year-old photographer in Vancouver, British Columbia shared an incredible natural phenomenon with the world of social media and it quickly went viral.
The photographer, known as BC Wanderer, regularly posts videos and photos of his outdoor adventures around the British Columbia area, but it was one video, in particular, that really caught people's attention.
In the clip, you can see BC Wanderer approaching a frozen waterfall in Hope, British Columbia, and pulling perfectly round ice balls from the water!
The man pulls out several balls before placing them carefully back at the bottom of the waterfall.
It's hard to imagine coming across such perfectly smooth and round balls in public, but that's exactly what happened at this waterfall.
BC Wanderer shared the video, saying: "A frozen waterfall near Hope BC produces perfectly round ice balls!"
He added in the comments, "I was soaking wet and super cold! Didn't get a ton of footage. I went back the next day, and most of it had melted! It's always a special treat to witness natural phenomenons!"
