Unusual ice formations resembling human pupils formed on the surface of Gümüşören Dam due to freezing temperatures, creating striking natural patterns that were captured on camera.
As air temperatures dropped below seasonal averages, the surface of Gumusoren Dam became largely covered with ice.
The intense cold, especially during nighttime, led to the formation of various ice patterns.
Among the ice layers, circular formations with darker centers were observed at different points on the dam’s surface.
These shapes closely resemble human pupils and stood out visually.
Experts state that such ice formations occur due to a combination of water movement, temperature differences, and wind.
Variations in ice thickness play a key role in creating these patterns.
Officials noted that these types of ice formations do not appear every winter and usually occur only when specific weather conditions come together.
Authorities warned that the ice covering the dam does not have a uniform thickness and advised people not to step onto frozen surfaces due to potential danger.
