What you see here is methane bubbles were trapped under an ice surface at Abraham Lake.

This photo was shot at the same day as my previous “-20”. I spent 4 days 3 nights at Abraham lake. Unfortunately it was snowing for two days two nights. This was from the morning after snow storm stopped, which was usually gonna be extremely cold (super super cold for a Californian like me). The temperature dropped down to -35C (wind chill -39C). It was one of the coldest temperature I experienced. At least the wind was not too bad that morning.

This spot is basically a 30-degree slope. It is kinda annoying when my tripod kept sliding down when I was trying to do focus stack :D.

Fine methane bubbles on Lake Minnewanka this year, even better than out at Abraham Lake IMO. Just don’t light up a cigarette there.

Bubbly Point by PatrickMarsonOng

One of the highlights of our trip was to see Abraham Lake. Despite the windy and icy conditions, we still decided to go and just drove slow and took our time. Upon reaching the first location – Preacher’s point, west most end of Abraham Lake, strong winds and snow from the east were blowing like crazy. Visibility went from bad to worse. Since it was still too early to shoot, we decided to visit Aurum Lodge, a few kilometers down the road. Had a blast meeting and talking with the owner, even invited us for a cup of coffee! We were told that the driving condition was much worse if we go further towards Nordegg. Ended up back to Preacher’s point, making the best out of what I can. Walking on ice was a challenge, one wrong move and your boom! Home of amazing ice bubbles. There’s just so many places to see but there’s so little time. Enjoy!
