Dog walker Michael Cox spotted them on the Wharfe between Bolton Priory and Bolton Bridge.
Plunging temperatures have brought "ice pancakes" to a river in North Yorkshire.
The phenomenon, which is caused when foam floating on the top of a river freezes, was spotted on the River Wharfe near Bolton Priory on Wednesday. They were photographed by dog walker Michael Cox, who said he visits the area regularly but had never seen the ice pancakes before.Mr Cox, who lives in nearby Silsden, said the riverside walk had been transformed into something of a "winter wonderland".Although he had never seen ice pancakes before, he said he knew what he was witnessing having seen previous news stories about the phenomenon.
The spectacle has already been witnessed on a Glasgow river earlier this week, and ice pancakes were also captured on the River Swale in Richmond in 2019.
