Icicle ripples growing on a stick

This movie is in QuickTime format. Download the QuickTime plugin.

This movie shows ice growing as water flows over a stick. The scale at the right shows cm. One second = 15 minutes of real time. Some ripples form on the lower right surface. They move very slightly upward during the growth.

See the icicle ripples page for more about the shape instability of growing icicles.
