Presumpscot River Rotating Ice Disk in Westbrook

Special | 1m 9s

An unusual ice formation has appeared in the Presumpscot River in Westbrook. It’s a giant, spinning ice disk about 100 yards across and moving counterclockwise. The disk looks rather alien, but it’s actually a natural occurrence. Ice disks have been recorded in Scandinavia and in North America.
