Trinity Western University physics professor Arnold Sikkema says he’s often on the lookout for interesting things in nature but he came across a very unique item near Pleasentdale Creek in Langley City early one morning during the recent cold weather. It’s a phenomenon called hair ice and forms on broken branches due to the presence of a fungus.
