No need for syrup on these pancakes

We all like our pancakes light and fluffy, but what about if they're ice cold and slushy?

Ice pancakes are slushy discs of ice that form when there is foam on the surface of cold rivers, lakes, and oceans. The foam freezes to form ice crystals, and as the current spirals, it causes them to collide into a circular shape.

In fact, just a little over two months ago this fantastic phenomenon was spotted on the River Bladnoch in Galloway, Scotland, as seen in the tweet above. They are more commonly found in Canada, the U.S., and Antarctica.

Though certainly aesthetic, we're not convinced that these are the most appetizing kind of pancakes. Have you ever seen them before? Send in your photos here!
