Evelyn Greene sent a link to this video to show how frazil ice is formed in Yosemite. It is the same process that builds the ice we see on the ice meadows at The Glen on the Hudson River.  Evelyn has studied this phenomenon for years and how it affects the unique flora of the area.  You can visit the Hudson River north of Warrensburg up to North Creek to see our own version of this beautiful natural event.
