NASA spots 'snowman' in Russian Arctic

NASA shared a cool picture from space that looks like a snowman.

It's not a real snowman, but a bunch of frozen lakes in a very cold place in Russia.

The picture was taken by a satellite on June 16, 2025.

These lakes are in a place called Billings, which is part of the Chukchi Peninsula.

It's so cold there that the lakes stay frozen most of the year, even in June.

The lakes formed because of something called thermokarst, where ice under the ground melts and makes the soil sink.

Then, water fills these sinks and the wind shapes them into ovals.

The ridges you see are the edges of underground ice wedges.

It's like nature's way of making a snowman!
