 As the ice melts, a spectacular ‘wind-accumulated iceberg’ is seen in the Ulungur Lake, NW China’s Xinjiang

In mid-April, as the weather warms up, frozen Ulungur Lake starts to melt, and broken-off ice cubes in different sizes are piled up on the shore of the lake due to the constant power of gale, forming a scenery of ‘wind-accumulated iceberg’. It is understood that Ulungur Lake is the second largest fishing base in Xinjiang after Bosten Lake. Every winter, an ice sheet about one meter thick will cover Ulungur Lake.
