糠平湖の解禁日

今日から糠平湖上への立ち入りが解禁になりました。
日の出から間もない時間帯にはもう多くのワカサギ釣りテントが並び、本格的な冬シーズンの到来を感じました。

As you know, Lake Nukabira is a mecca for wakasagi fishing.

Numerous tents were set up this morning as the open season on the lake had just begun.

湖畔には、糠平湖の冬の風物詩として知られるキノコ氷ができていました。

湖底の切株に氷が乗ることで出来るものが一般的ですが、こちらは流木の上に出来たもの。高さは人の背丈ほどありました。

I spotted a slightly strange shape on Lake Nukabira. This is known as " KINOKO-ICE," which is a winter seasonal feature of Lake Nukadaira. KINOKO means mushroom in Japanese. So it might be clearer to call it "mushroom ice".

 

Several conditions must be satisfied in nature for mushroom ice to be formed. Several conditions must be satisfied: stumps, thick ice, and an environment in which the water level is lowered.

 

Lake Nukabira is one of the few places where these conditions are well matched.

タウシュベツ川橋梁が氷の下から現れ始め、現在は1メートルほどが氷上に見えています。
糠平湖の水位は1日15~20センチほどで下がっていくので、これからは日々景色が変わっていくでしょう。

There is a bridge that emerges from under the ice in Hokkaido, Japan. Taushubetsu bridge, which was once used as a railroad bridge, is the one.
From today's photo, it is hard to believe that this is a bridge.
However, over the next month or so, the bridge will gradually appear.
Stay tuned for more information.
