The Mystery of Yellowstone Lake Singing in Winter May Be Solved If you're new to Wyoming and/or have never been to Yellowstone National Park, there is a lake there that sings. It's true and we have proof. Until now the reason why has been a mystery, but a new theory may explain this phenomena once and for all. it's what happens when ice cracks and then moves over the water. It creates vibrations that are different every winter based on how thick the ice is, how much snow is on the ice and how fast it grows This inspired me to do some additional research and I came upon a YouTube channel by Jonna Jinton. Check out her video called "Did you know that ice can sing?".
