Have you ever heard of Plate Ice? I hadn't, until I came across some gorgeous photos of it.

winter’s glass, laid gently across the world.”

Ginny, I haven't heard of this...but I have now. Absolutely gorgeous.
I have not heard of it or seen it and wow is it beautiful.. of course since I don't leave the state of Florida there is not much chance of seeing it..
I've not heard of it being referred to as plate ice, but I can totally understand why. Almost as if it were beautiful pieces of glass...so very pretty.
No I have never heard of it before but I can see why it's called that. These pictures are beautiful especially that last one
It's so cool! (Ha, I didn't mean that literally, but it struck me as I typed)
I've seen it here on Lake Michigan.
Very cool looking ice. I hadn't heard it called that. Fun though.
This is a new one on me, Ginny. How lovely it is!
I have never heard of it. We have blue ice on the great lakes. It looks like that but is blue and not clear.
Not sure I ever heard the word but it does look "surreal" :)
God's Creation is simply stunning.

I have seen some unique ice formations on the shores of Lake Superior.
Never heard of that, but wow...you sure got some photo's. Beautiful!
Ginny, I've never heard of it - but it is just beautiful!
Wow, I would love to be there witnessing it
That is really beautiful. I've never heard of it either.
Back in November I did a post about the needle ice ( a similar ice phenomenon) I saw on one of our hikes. It forms when soil temperatures are above freezing, while the air above drops below 32°F. This causes underground water to rise to the surface through capillary action, freezing into stunning, needle-like columns. Typically, this enchanting process happens at night when temperatures are at their lowest. You’ll often find needle ice along stream banks or soil terraces, creating a beautiful winter spectacle. We typically see this in the higher elevations. God is so good, who continually gifts these little gems to us to observe.
That was new to me too. 😊❤️
Fascinating! You took some great images. I enjoy all these things in nature you see on TV.
