A hair ice observation in Devon.
- Authors
Robbins, James; Gill, Philip
- Abstract
Hair ice is a rare type of ice formation that resembles thin strands of hair and is found only on rotting wood in specific weather conditions and locations. The peculiar formation of the ice is dependent on the presence of a particular fungus on dead wood from broadleaf woodland, which helps to shape the ice hairs and prevents them from recrystallising. This article details a recent sighting of hair ice at Buckland Abbey in Devon and describes this interesting and unusual phenomenon, as well as outlining the formation process. Hair ice
