Not quite the same as a water bed. Perhaps a frozen water bed? It would be good for the person who has hot flashes. Lol.

you see that often on glaciers, well, not with mattresses but with large rocks that get carried down with runoff. The large rocks never heat up enough during a day so they stay cold and shade the ice underneath whereas the ice around melted. So you have these big rocks on pedestals. The size of the rock is critical.
With smaller rocks they heat up through and through on a sunny day. They eventually store enough heat and the heat gets to the ice surface and they melt holes into the ice so you have these melt holes in the glacier that go down some depth until the rock gets cooled enough to stop its downward progress. What you see on the surface is a long, deep apparently bottomless hole maybe 4" to a foot and a half wide filled with blue water (the blue comes from the cast of the adjoining ice).Last edited by LCHIEN; 04-27-2013, 02:05 PM.Loring in Katy, TX USA
If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.
