An unusual natural phenomenon was recorded in the forests of the Amur region

Unusual "white pythons" have been spotted in the forests of the Amur region. A natural phenomenon was recorded in the Bureysky forestry.

The staff of the forestry department called the outlandish snow formations on the branches of trees "White pythons". They are shaped like giant snakes. The figures hang from firs and pines.

According to IA PriamurMedia, citing experts, during periods of frost, moist air freezes on the branches, which forms dense patches. They stretch out into snake-like shapes under the influence of wind and snow.

The phenomenon occurs in the taiga of the Amur region after the onset of frost after the thaw.

In early February, it was reported that an iceberg 7 km long had been discovered in the Black Sea off the coast of Crimea. The ice field pressed against the Bakal spit in the area of the nature reserve. The object discovered by scientists is not an iceberg, but a drifting ice. In shallow water, the water froze, and the winds gathered the ice floes into a single array. The phenomenon off the coast of Crimea is rare and indicates the severity of winter.
