Nostoc is a Cyanobacterium that, occasionally, forms spheres like these in ponds or on wet ground. Most times, Nostoc exists in the form of dark green or yellow-green sheets that can look like seaweed. The spheres in this pic are not a colour I often see in nature. #algae #fungifriends

Neat ground patterns on a wilderness trek. I’m told they are caused by repeated free-thaw cycles. From November to April, our temps hover right around freezing/0C…resulting in numerous freeze-thaw cycles per year. #Newfoundland, Canada. #hiking #backpacking #geology No #trail

There are many places along Newfoundland’s East Coast Trail where, in winter, strong onshore winds blow seaward streams and brooks backwards, turning the surrounding area into a beautiful, frozen sculpture.
