This ice formed in a shallow pan during a night in the mid-20s - 1/2 inch thick on the surface and 1/8 on the sides and bottom. Under the surface were all these paper-thin crystal blades stabbing down in a chaotic variety of repeating shapes and angles. All this was invisible until lifted from the water.

I've seen this with birdbath water, and it's amazing how integral the icy formations are, on the opposite side of the top crust! It never occurred to me to photograph this wonder; I'm so glad you did! - Julie in Ohio
