Wallpapers: Abraham Lake, Alberta, Canada HD Wallpapers
Abraham Lake is actually a man-made lake in Alberta Canada, upper north of the Saskatchewan river at the foot of the Canadian Rockies. It is really beautiful during summer but what makes it amazing is the frozen bubbles found underneath the lake during the winter season. These frozen or ice bubbles underneath are piled up together like bluish white cotton wool or white rocks piled on top of each other in an orderly fashion.These frozen bubbles are actually methane gas that is produced when bacteria at the bottom of the lake decomposes organic matter like animals, plants, and trees that died and sank to the bottom. Once methane is released a bubble is formed and it rises to the surface and evaporates in the air. During Winter season, these bubbles are trapped when the lake is frozen and are unable to escape. These forms the ice bubbles because methane gas gets frozen when it comes in contact with a colder surface. Once the ice is cracked, the bubbles pop and methane is released into the air.
