Amazing to see a perfect circle of ice in the creek circle. The video of it rotating really shows an unusual phenomenon. We don't see these things in this part of the world I come from.]]>

I am glad to see such excellent documentation of an ice circle in Canada, but your introductory comment about "crop circles having faded into distant memory" seems wildly incorrect.
The summer of 2008 was the most active crop circle season in many years, and one of them even drew our attention to an upcoming date of December 23, 2012 when the Mayan Long Count calendar ends (close to Avebury on July 15).
One would have to be either very narrow-minded or else very dim, not to investigate such an amazing paranormal message further. Not one first-hand witness (or skeptic) has even tried to argue that it could have been man-made. ]]>

These are easily explained: There is a current eddy at that spot. As the creek freezes, ice builds from the shore, and from the calm water at the center of the eddy. The ice circle is perfectly round due to frictional abrasion at the edges. Heat generated by friction keeps the joint from freezing in temperatures marginally but not severly below freezing, so it keeps spinning.]]>

I've seen one on Brush Creek near Vernal Utah in '72.  A slab of ice of any shape gets centered on the line between an eddy and the main current jet.  It rotates, and as David says above, simultaneously works against the projections on plate ice near the shore and in the ice covering the jet, while being worked by them, until it is made circular and has circularized recesses around itself.  If this is to be thought surprising, commenters should be exclaiming in amazement that celestial bodies above a certain mass and plasticity are spherical.]]>

For you city types who have obviously never seen a creek, unless it is REALLY cold and everything freezes, the water continuous to flow under the ice.]]>

It's simply the interaction between fluid dynamics (the flowing water in the river - beneath the ice) and solid dynamics (the growing ice) in a falling temperature zone. It is circular because the lumpy bits get worn off. Perfectly natural.

Water current makes a human made cut ice circle spin
Anyway, it is cool and beautiful.

The toughest part, is to cut a perfect circle in the ice

Good job guys, but definitely not natural]]>

It looks like a hula hoop to me. In the video, the only thing moving is the circle. If this is a creek, it should be flowing. ]]>

That's pretty sweet! ha ha.
I like the 'old tire' theory. Although it's not as fun as the ice fairies... ]]>

Check out the links being posted on the digg site. Seems this beautiful ice shape is not an uncommon occurance (I don't think it's a tire, though). If you look carefully at the photo you can see that the ice is turning.]]>
