Fish froze in mid-swim in their shoal near Lovund, a small island just a few miles from the northern shores of the Norway mainland. It was only -7 degrees, but the wind chill was cold enough to freeze a large amount of fish in place. It is believed that the fish were being chased by a predator, which made them group in huge numbers.

A car door handle snaps off during extreme freezing temperatures.
Our car was covered in about 2 1/2 inches of clear ice, and we couldnt get the door handle to move let alone pull up to rip it off.

It's an amazing natural sight at Abraham Lake with the Frozen bubbles under the ice. The explanation of the rare phenomenon is, “The plants on the lake bed release methane gas and methane gets frozen once coming close enough to the much colder lake surface and they keep stacking up below once the weather gets colder and colder during [the] winter season.”
