A stunning view of winding ice cracks and white ice crystals has appeared on the azure-colored surface of the frozen Heishan Lake. Drone footage shows numerous cracks and fractures of ice running wild across the jade-like lake stretching endlessly into the horizon, offering plenty of enchanting natural beauty for tourists and shutterbugs. The phenomenon known as "ice cracks" results from compression in the ice layers as temperature drops. In winter, the water freezes at different speeds, leading to ice layers of different thicknesses. Besides, water expands and takes up more space when it becomes ice. Heishan Lake is a tourist attraction famous for its clear blue water.
