Beautiful and dangerous
Lake Abraham might be home to beautiful ice crystals, but they hold a deadly secret. Abraham Lake’s main attraction comes during the winter months, when methane bubbles become trapped below the surface of the lake and freeze, creating crystal-like formations under the surface. The beauty of these natural formations has drawn many amateur photographers to the area, hoping to capture the stunning scenery.
