Guido von List: Part 30 - October 5 "Ice wheel" 160th birthday tribute!

Spinning Ice Disk Forms in Washington

Wall Street Journal

A perfect circle of ice was spotted spinning in the Middle Fork Snoqualmie River in Washington on Saturday. Meteorologists say the rotating disk is the result of water flowing around the river bend spinning a sheet of ice against the surrounding ice to create a smooth disk.

Ice circle

An ice disc, ice circle, ice pan, or ice crepe is a natural phenomenon that occurs in slow moving water in cold climates.

Ice circles are thin and circular slabs of ice that rotate slowly in the water. It is believed[1] that they form in eddy currents. It has been shown that existing ice discs can maintain their rotation due to melting.[2]

An unusual natural phenomenon, ice disks occur in slow moving water in cold climates and can vary in size, with circles more than 15 metres (49 ft) in diameter observed.

'Nature's Bizarre Formations - Ice Circles'

MessageToEagle.com - September 26, 2013

Nature creates a variety of geometric figures, but this rather rare phenomenon is normally associated with rivers and lakes in Scandinavia and other northern European and American countries.

According to one of many theories, warming of the water surface may be the origin of the circles.

Another popular theory says that ring patterns - sometimes so large that they are clearly visible from space - are created by quick shifts in temperature.

According to one of many theories, tectonic activity deep inside the Earth may be responsible for methane gas emissions, which in turn produce a rising mass of warm water.

The water, according to the so-called Coriolis effect, begins swirling in circular pattern (always clockwise in the Northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern hemisphere) creating rings of different size.

There are various forms of solar or "sun wheels" in ancient Indo-European traditions; Teutonic traditions in particular. In the same manner as the proverbial "ring of fire," there is also a "ring of ice." Could the solar wheels be fashioned into perhaps "lunar wheels" as well? Von List saw the solar wheels as a symbol of the endless wheel of revolving nature; of regeneration; of life, death, and rebirth; and of reincarnation. We see this in the eternally spinning galaxies, or even of gophers turning up the soil as birds, bees, or the wind spread seeds about. It's appropriate that the Alfather sun's "ring of fire" is accompanied by the Almother moon's "ring of ice." Tomorrow is Guido von List's 160th birthday; being born in Vienna on October 5, 1848.

"Fire from Ice"

How can we get fire from ice? By shaping a piece of ice into a "lens" with your hand; then it could possibly be directed with the sun's energy to make a fire.

Unusual phenomenon: Giant ice circle spinning in North Dakota river

euronews (in English)

A retired engineer out hunting in North Dakota on Saturday spotted a huge disk of ice spinning on the Sheyenne River, over 50 feet in diameter. George Loegering posted video online on Tuesday of his unusual sighting, clearly showing the snow-covered disc rotating.
