A strange circle of ice formed on the River Otter, Devon, during the recent freeze (report, January 14). The perfect circle of ice was 3m (10ft) across and spun in a complete rotation every four minutes. It is thought the ice may have formed in an eddy in the river. But other types of ice circles found in North America have appeared as thin ice, or a hole in the ice, in an otherwise frozen waterway, pond or lake.
