The strange phenomenon of

Amateur photographer Daniel Norrie, 31, has captured a unique image on the Helmsdale River area in Scotland.

Instead of the usual large pieces of ice, the Helmsdale River forms a separate band like 'pancakes' covering the river area in the Scottish highlands.

The unique 'ice cake' phenomenon in Scotland has just appeared.

Strange "ice creams" are described as 'shrimp chips'.

Daniel discovered a strange phenomenon when driving to work in the past week. Immediately this amateur photographer asked his buddy to stop so he could take it.

Daniel said: "After we drove over and caught this strange phenomenon, I was very confused and excited. I thought it looked more like shrimp crackers than pancakes.

They are diverse in size. One of them is about the size of a DVD. I often take photos of dawn in the winter but I'm sure there is nothing unique with these images. '

According to the local Meteorological Office, this phenomenon of ice pancakes requires very specific weather conditions to form and most common in the Baltic Sea, but can also form in North America and Canada. The 'cakes' have a thickness of 20cm -200cm.
