During warm spells like this, ice bubbles are best viewed in the morning - before the sun has a chance to heat the ice. By afternoon, the ice can turn foggy fast. That said, there’s still plenty of beauty to be found ✨ from striking ice patterns to pockets of candle ice.
⚠️ Ice conditions can change quickly during heat waves. Assessing the ice is crucial - be sure to check our ice reports so you know what to expect (link in bio 🔗).

![⚠️ Weekend Ice Update - Abraham Lake ⚠️
The prolonged heat wave has significantly altered ice conditions, creating weak areas, open water, and drain holes. While colder nights have refrozen some of these spots, the newly formed ice is thin and unreliable. With temperatures continuing to fluctuate, conditions will remain variable through the weekend and can change rapidly.
If you’re planning to visit in the coming days, strong ice assessment skills and extra caution are essential. Full ice report linked in bio 🔗
On the bright side, bubbles are looking great and aren't going anywhere! 🫧
