Ice-broken
 









In Nov, the Qinghai Lake get frozen. Usually it is frozen in one night like an icecap rather than freezing gradually. At that time, the whole lake is like an icy world. The depth of the ice is about 0.69 meter. Even people can ride bikes on the lake surface. In Mar, the ice is also melted in one night. The Qinghai Lake in that day is much bluer than any other time. It's said that the freezing and melting are both on propitious days. To our surprise, in melting process, the wave pushes all the ice blocks to bank. These ice blocks form an iceberg, shining brightly in the sunshine. However, there is no more ice in other places. It's hard to believe that it's the wave push all the ice blocks together. This is a special and grand phenomenon in Qinghai Lake.
