Giant rotating ice disc forms in river

Giant rotating ice disc forms in river

A curious formation attracting attention in the US is actually a spinning ice disc that is roughly 91 metres wide.

The formation in the Presumpscot River in Greater Portland, Maine, has drawn comparisons to an alien spacecraft, a carousel and the moon.

The oddity in Westbrook drew a crowd that stood mesmerised by the slow-turning disc.

Locals said they have seen smaller ice discs before but nothing like this one, Ms Radel said.

Rob Mitchell, who owns a nearby office building, spotted the alien-looking disc and immediately notified the city.

Officials said the disc is spinning slowly counter-clockwise and has served as a big raft for ducks and other birds.

“The ducks were rotating on this big Lazy Susan,” Mr Mitchell said.
