Well done, Jon! I found (and extensively photographed, if you want any example) a beautiful ice wall in a Swedish forest puddle. It was about 3cm high, sharp at the top, and about 100cm long, with a tringular cross-section which stood clear at the 1cm thick base from the main frozen surface, indicating water level changes. (Nearby there were many “crunchy puddles” as you call them.) The formation curved around the inside of the puddle to form a large ellipse, and was bafffling until I read your blog on ice vases.

Well, thanks Tom.
The ice wall sounds like a drainage feature, related to the “crunchy puddle” phenomenon (as you mention), and the Jan 27, 2013 entry on puddles.

Clearly, there is a lot more to observe and describe about frozen puddles! I’d really like to see a photo of this one you mentioned.

I have photographed and video’s an ice vase that I found in an old shower floor that was in the bed of my truck. I had never seen anything like it and this afternoon I had some time indoors so found Your website.

Oh and I too put a small twig down into the vase.

Mine too was triangular.

How do I send you the video and photos?
