海灘上發現籃球大的天然雪球
Giant natural snowballs as big as basketballs discovered on remote beach！
在海灘上發現像籃球一樣大的天然雪球！
A huge collection of giant snowballs - made by nature- have suddenly appeared on the Arctic coast of Siberia. The balls described as 'white cannonballs' by one local newspaper, were discovered on a beach around the remote village of Nyda in the Gulf of Ob, at the mouth of the world's seventh longest river.
在西伯利亞的北極海岸出現了很多自然形成的大雪球。這些雪球是被位於北極圈上方的尼達村民們先發現的，當地報紙還報道出來，稱之為「白色的炮彈。」
They range in different sizes from the size of a tennis ball to basketballs and the perfect snowman's head. Resident Ekaterina Chernyk said: 'We have them all in one place. It's as if someone spilled them.'
這些雪球的大小各不相同，有些雪球的大小與網球差不多，而有些雪球就像籃球一樣大，有些很適合做雪人的頭部~當地居民Ekaterina Chernykh說道：「只有這一個地方出現了這些雪球，就好像有人打翻了裝雪球的瓶子一樣」
We were all very surprised. Many people believed it only when they saw it with their own eyes.' Village official Valery Akulov said: 'Even old-timers say they are seeing this phenomenon for the first time.'
They may look man made but the snowballs have been formed by an entirely natural and extremely rare natural phenomenon.
Some locals have even posed for photos sitting on the sea of snowballs which stretch along the beach. Many of the balls are bigger than a human head.
「我們都感覺非常驚訝。許多人只有在親眼見過這樣的場景之後，才會相信它真實存在。」來自村政府的Valery Akulov說道：「就連老村民們都說這也是他們第一次看見這樣的場景。」
它們看起來人為，但雪球已經形成了一個完全是自然形成的。這是一個極其罕見的自然現象。
很多人擺造型和這些雪球合照。很多雪球都有人的頭部那麼大~
The Russian Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute (AARI) spokesman Sergey Lisenkov said the snowballs form in the waves under certain climatic conditions.
"A combination of the action of the wind, the outlines of coastline, and the temperature, may lead to the formation of such balls," he said.
A similar phenomenon was reported at Lake Michigan two years ago.
來自俄羅斯北極和南極研究所(Arcticand Antarctic Research Institute，簡寫AARI)的發言人Sergey Lisenkov說道：「這是一種罕見的自然現象。一般來說，最先形成的應該是海水初凍形成的泥濘狀冰。接著在風的動作、海岸線輪廓與溫度的結合作用的情況下，有可能導致這些雪球形成。」
雖然在當地人的記憶里，先前從未出現過這種事情，但兩年前（2014年）在密歇根湖曾出現過類似狀況。
