Your P.E.I.: Freeze frames

As ponds and rivers freeze over and ice moves onto our shores, there are incredible formations and colours that Island photographers have captured.

Islanders are sharing photos as ice embraces P.E.I.

Many Islanders are getting outdoors to enjoy frozen streams and ponds. They're also capturing the beauty as the ice takes shape. Whether a flat surface perfect for a game of shinny, or the patterns and cakes that shift with the wind and the tides, the cold of winter can make for some breathtaking images.

Shell ice is ice that originally forms on a sheet of water but is no longer resting in it because the water has withdrawn. Weatherman Boomer Gallant says, growing up in Charlottetown, they called it shelly ice when making their rinks. (We don't know who shelly is!) (Submitted by Pam@oceanluvngal/Instagram)
