A stunning scene was recently seen at Bosten Lake in Bayingolin Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture, northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, in which the ice resembled pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.

This phenomenon appeared as the thinner parts of the ice cracked due to the day-night temperature difference. Some pieces of ice were pushed ashore and piled up on the bank.
