George Loegering captured this in North Dakota’s Sheyenne River last weekend.

“At first I thought, no way! It was surreal,” said the 73-year-old.

The unusual circle of ice likely formed because of cold, dense air and an — a feature that happens downstream of an obstruction and can make the water swirl.

Loegering estimated the circle had a diameter of about 55 feet.
