Crazy paving!

  • zmckean by zmckean

    This #crazypaving appears to have the structure (on a huge scale, presumably) of an area of mud where shrinkage has happened due to drying out - or could it be a crystalline structure?

    The 'paving' is caused by trapped carbon dioxide gas under a semi-see through carbon dioxide ice sheet that is thawing. You can learn more about the process here.
