In 2016, thousands of giant ice balls appeared along the shore on the Yamal Peninsula in Western Siberia.
The experts at the Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute (AARI) say that this is a very rare phenomenon that happens due to strong winds that pick up snow, roll it into balls, and then polish them. The balls then collect together on the shore and can reach a diameter of 20 inches.
