Ruu_Old

Good find.

cool, wonder how cold it must've been for the wave to freeze like that

Diarmsquid

Reminds me of Day After Tomorrow, when your man in the helicopter freezes like that *click*.

A *bit* nippy I would guess

I'd be extremely skeptical if it wasn't so out of place with the sheets around it and so smooth....

How does 'melting glacier' = 'frozen tidal wave'?

Overheal

looks fabricated...

Exactly. I'm no physicists but I would imagine that you would need an incredible temperature drop happening at a ridiculously fast rate to freeze a wave in full flow.

it's not a tidal wave by any means...but it's nice

Nothing dodgy, just some nice pictures of a huge ice cube. Mad lookin I tells ya.

The_B_Man

ice cube? is it perhaps.....rubbing off a nipple?

Rabies

We live in a nipple free Boards.ie

Is fatpita.net blocked or harkvideos.com?
Added two of the pics, they might work.

The_B_Man

fatpita is "Tasteless" and hark is "Adult content". tut tut

Thats not a tidal wave its a glacier. But not for much longer as global warming accelerates...

This is nowhere near as impresive, but heres a clip of the phenomenon actually occuring in Canada, so presumably in the arctic or somewhere like that you might be able to get a massive one like in the pics posted by the OP. Seems like a wave can freeze instantly when it make contact with the colder land.

It appears the water is already frozen and is just being pushed on to shore by the tide.

as for the original pic it was no frozen wave. As people have said its just a glacier and it looks sort of like a wave. There is no way a wave can freeze instantly like that no matter how fast it gets cold, a wave is moving too fast to freeze the way it looks it froze in that picture.

But... it happened in The Day After Tomorrow.

Fascinating, I'd never have believed it unless I saw it!

Some of those pics of the frozen glacier would make really sweet backgrounds for flyers/album artwork. Not sure where you'd stand on the whole copyright thing though...

That's not a wave you mongoose!!!
