SUDDEN GALE TURNS HIGHLAND LAKE INTO SWIRLING SNOWDRIFT
WITH VID
By Pankaj Yadav
A peaceful mountain landscape suddenly transformed into something dramatic after a powerful gust swept across a highland lake sending snow and mist spinning through the air.
The video, filmed by Jiang Tianxi at Ganheba Milk Lake in Lijiang, Yunnan, China, shows a group of hikers arriving at the scenic base just as strong winds begin tearing across the shoreline.
Within seconds, loose snow is lifted off the ground and pushed forward in thick white plumes, creating the eerie appearance of smoke rolling over the lake’s edge.
Jiang captures the gusts carving moving lines across the snow, with fine powder swirling upward in waves and twisting into the air.
