Tens of thousands of ice hockey occupy the beach!!

There are thousands of differently shaped ice hockey balls on the Hailuoto beach in Finland. They are closely arranged and endless. If you don’t look carefully, It is also thought that the beaches are all occupied by "eggs", and this quite spectacular scene also makes the local residents amazed.

According to CNN, the island of Hailuoto, which is located at the northernmost tip of the Baltic Sea, has a very rare and strange landscape. Local people have found that there are round and milky white ice hockey on the beach, which is like a large piece in the sunlight. "Eggs" are laid on the beach. More specifically, these hockey balls are neatly arranged in a row, as if they were artificially placed, covering a few square miles.

Tarja Terentjeff, a resident of Oulu City, said that he drove a 30-minute ferry to Hailuoto Island for a glimpse of this wonder. "This is an amazing sight. I have never seen it, the entire beach is covered by ice hockey; another resident, Sirpa Tero, said that although she had seen ice hockey at the beach, she never saw ice hockey so large. What has not been seen?

In addition, according to the Finnish Broadcasting Corporation (Yle), Finnish Meteorological Institute ice expert Jouni Vainio pointed out that although ice hockey is not common, it is not a supernatural phenomenon, he said that as long as appropriate air and water are present (close In the case of icing conditions, ice hockey can be formed, while shallower sandy beaches, suitable ice, and sea undulations, can also form ice hockey.

However, the formation of ice hockey also depends on other elements, including snowflakes, pebbles on the beach, and even some small floating objects on the beach. Water close to the icing will freeze on these objects, waiting for the appropriate wind to blow. The ice will grow thicker and thicker with the seawater. "If the wind is too big, it will prevent the formation of ice hockey. But if the wind is calm, the water will only freeze evenly on the beach." That is to say, ice hockey is in all conditions. It will only happen if the situation is met. Therefore, the landscape of the Hailuoto Island beach covered with ice hockey is very rare.
