Black ice. So clear as to appear insubstantial. The trapped bubbles are the only evidence the ice is over six inches thick. Black ice usually forms on a lake or pond when the surface freezes absent wind or snow. In this case, high winds kept the surface of Crystal Lake (Wisconsin) open until on one frigid night nearly the entire 415 acre lake froze in a jumble of ice floes, pack ice, and isolated patches of black ice. From 35mm negative.
