Viral Video of Vanishing Stream Amazes Netizens

<p>
Seeing the viral video of a stream vanishing literally in thin air in Canada takes one back to witnessing a magician’s disappearing act.</p>
<p>
The video which has gone viral on social media has been posted on Twitter and shows a frozen landscape where a stream is seen flowing. Moving a bit, the stream freezes over and disappears right in front of the eyes</p>

The caption of the Tweet along with the video read: “An example of rarely seen Frazil Ice from Shannon Falls in Squamish, BC yesterday morning. The stream disappears instantly before your eyes.”.</p>

Frazil ice is made of needle-like ice crystals that merge under calm conditions and form thin sheets of ice on the surface according to the National Snow and Ice Data Centre. These crystals consist of nearly pure fresh water.</p>
