Illusion of man walking on water causing fever

The picture creates the illusion of an American man walking on the water quickly causing fever on social networks.

Mr. Andre Poineau on January 21 shared a photo of him standing on a miraculously frozen frozen Charlevoix lake near Boyne, Michigan, USA. The photo makes sense that the man walking on this lake has attracted tens of thousands of shares on Facebook.

Poineau took a shovel to probe the ice on the lake, because he could not rely on bubbles, sediments, cracks to determine where on the ice was thicker than elsewhere.

He dug a small hole in the ice and discovered the ice about 5cm thick. Poineau did not show any anxiety because knowing that if he fell, the water level only reached the armpit."Even when falling, the shovel will bring a wide contact surface to help me climb," Poineau said.

Poineau enjoyed it when the series received a lot of attention, but he insisted that this was not an unusual phenomenon. He lived next to Charlevoix Lake for 63 years and watched the lake become crystal-clear throughout dozens of times.

"I think there is no mystery about the cause. When the wind is very quiet and the water temperature is below 0 degrees Celsius, the surface of the lake becomes so perfect , " Poineau said. Thanks to the zebra mussel , the lake water is always very clear.

According to physicist George Leshkevich at the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, when air temperatures are so low that water loses most of the remaining heat, large ice crystals sink to the bottom of the water without sediment. , the air bubbles or movement of the lake water prevented it, making the lake surface clear.
