The network is discussing an unusual video that captures moving ice floes. The video was allegedly shot at the Kapshagai reservoir. Correspondent of Tengritravel.kz was trying to find out how such an interesting natural phenomenon happened.
The video footage shows how blocks of ice slowly crawl overlapping with each other, forming ice mountains on the surface of the frozen reservoir.

Responding to a request Tengritravel.kz The Emergency Department of the Almaty region explained that the so - called hummocks-pieces of ice that protrude from under the snow with sharp edges - are formed as a result of compression of the ice cover due to wind. This phenomenon can sometimes be observed in winter on large bodies of water.
"There was no movement of ice in the area of Kapshagai. This video was most likely shot on the north coast, in the area of pumping stations (presumably in the area of 3-4 pumping stations). The movement of ice occurs due to the wind, which accelerates the wave in open areas of the reservoir. In this case, the movement occurred due to the south-easterly wind, " the press service of the Emergency Department of the Almaty region commented.
They also noted that any movement of ice is extremely dangerous not only for tourists.
"The video was allegedly shot near the shore. If this happened at a certain distance from the shore, the ice would break under the operator, " the experts said.

In turn, the head of the Department of internal policy of the city of Kapshagai Sagynai Musagitov doubted that both videos from the publication were shot on the Kapshagai reservoir.
"According to the first video - it is not clear where (filmed-Ed.). But according to the second video, it's definitely not in Kapshagai. We do not have such mountains of ice," he commented on the publication.
Kazhydromet noted that this phenomenon is called ice movement and drift, but similar videos, allegedly filmed at the Kapchagai reservoir, have already been received last year. According to the press service of Kazhydromet, then it turned out that the ice drift was recorded on Lake Baikal.
According to the Emergency Department of Almaty region, since the beginning of the winter period, no accidents have been registered at the Kapshagai reservoir. However, employees of the emergency department are asked to take precautions: do not go out on the ice in unverified places. And in the case of ice movements, it is necessary, following the largest ice fields, to move towards the shore and leave the ice surface as soon as possible. To do this, experts recommend finding places where the ice fields are closely adjacent to each other.
It should be noted that Tengri TV correspondents recently visited the Kapshagai reservoir and removed blocks of ice formed on it. As you can see in the video, the ice does not move.
Recall that after a series of publications about the beautiful ice on the Kapshagai reservoir, the reservoir attracts a huge number of tourists.
