WESTBROOK, Maine. (WSVN) — An amazing phenomenon is blowing minds in New England

A massive spinning disc of ice drew curious onlookers to the banks of the Presumpscot River in Westbrook, Maine.

According to a city of Westbrook official, the disc is roughly 100 yards in diameter. They also said it’s spinning in a counter clockwise direction.

According to experts, discs can form in a slow-moving, rotating part of a river.

The slow-moving water freezes faster, forming a circle of ice.

It’s a natural but rare phenomenon.
