Abraham Lake is actually a larger reservoir used by TransAlta to generate power. Because of this, its levels fluctuate throughout the winter resulting in ever changing conditions. Be sure to use caution before heading out onto the ice.

The strong winds here polish the ice, making it crystal clear and perfect for seeing the bubbles. It also makes it very, very slippery.

Be sure to only go where you can see that the ice is thick enough. Since the water freezes clear, it is easy to gauge the thickness of the ice from the cracks that form. Even them , the sensation can be strange, like walking on a glass bottom...

The winds can be strong here. Be sure to dress warm and wear a toque and a buff. Even with ice traction devices, the wind still blew me around.

Vertical ice bubbles. The crack in the ice is probably 2-3ft deep.
