Ah, we’re going to take you down to listen to the lake sing.
(Snowy footsteps and odd sounds coming from the frozen lake)
This is, this doesn’t happen all the time. Fairly rare. So, so not many people hear this, because if there’s the tiniest bit of snow, the deal’s off. The sound’s all muffled.
As this stuff freezes, and tightens, there’s there’s movement underneath, so this crack’ll start and it just goes. Takes off.
(Windy reverb-like sound and snowy footsteps)
And you’ll hear these sounds just like an F-16 coming right at you.
(Echoing water sounds)
When the sun comes up, it begins in earnest. When the sun goes down, it peters out. The activity will subside and stop. Get quiet.
I’ve tried singing along, but it just doesn’t work too well. (Echoing water sounds) Nothing beats that.
I’m Bruce Sefton and I’m with the maintenance division of the National Park Service here in the Lake District. Every day’s fun.
This is Yellowstone National Park. Thanks for listening.
