[QUOTE="guywhofishes, post: 314669, member: 337"] Relatively warm water seeping from the earth (aka springs) is warmer than the lake water. So it rises like hot air rises in cold air (smoke stack). Thus it creates vertical plumes of rising water - washing up against the bottom of the ice. Even if the water has reached the average cold lake water temperature by the time it reaches the ice, it still eats away at it because well.... it's still warmer than the ice. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] As you can imagine, the deeper the location, the less chance for that rising convection of water to scour the ice from below. That's why the humps/islands are most at risk - the ice is closer to the lake bottom. [/QUOTE]
