Science on Ice: All The Most Incredible Discoveries

Ice–One, Lighthouse–Zero
In certain parts of the world, the winter temperature can drop so low it’s capable of completely freezing architectural structures (if you’re from Michigan, this won’t be news to you). Sadly, this lighthouse was not able to hold itself together when faced with just one such almighty frost. The wonky ice staircase looks like it was designed by the animators who worked on the Disney film, Frozen.

This structure was unlucky to have faced the freezing cold alone and defenseless. Though really, it was a good thing no living beings were occupying it at the time because they surely would’ve perished from temperatures capable of freezing and warping metal. Considering this type of event isn’t unheard of in Michigan, imagine how tough winter must be for the locals? Thank goodness for whisky and central heating!
