Finally... ice spikes explained!


Before I got a fridge with an icemaker, these ice spikes were very common in our ice cube trays and very interesting to me. I developed a theory that they were little ice volcanoes. Kenneth G. Libbrecht, chair of the physics dept. at Caltech explains how ice spikes are really created. I wasn't sooo far off.

I found this link on Caterina Fake's blog
