Ice eggs
Ice eggs, also known as ice balls, are a rare phenomenon caused by a process in which small pieces of sea ice in open water are rolled over by wind and currents in freezing conditions and grow into spheroid pieces of ice. They sometimes collect into heaps of balls on beaches where they pack together in striking patterns. The gentle churn of water, blown by a suitably stiff breeze, makes concentric layers of ice form on a seed particle that then grows into the floating ball as it rolls through the freezing currents. This formation of ice eggs was photographed in 2014 on Stroomi Beach in Tallinn, Estonia. The temperature was around −20 to −15 °C (−4 to 5 °F), and the diameter of each ball around 5 to 10 centimetres (2 to 4 in).Photograph credit: Aleksandr Abrosimov

Hello Sunborn

[edit]

I made some edits to a page you had previously worked on. My comments about the recent round of edits to the List of Zeta Psi chapters is on the Talk page. If you have continuing interest and time, I'd welcome your review. You'd also be welcome to join the Fraternities and Sororities Project. If I read correctly your reasons for semi-retiring, I concur that edit wars and Deletionism has been a problem. For us, we police these articles within our area of interest, and have kept the Deletionists and other trolls at bay. We now monitor several thousand pages, and are actively improving them.

As a fellow engineer, I believe that you should undo removal of [[Category:Wikipedian engineers|Sunborn]]
