Anyone up for a huge snowball fight? Thousands of snowballs made by nature are spotted in Arctic

This could seem more artificial than anything, but it is indeed made by Mother Nature herself.

An 11-mile stretch of coast in the Gulf of Ob, northwest Siberia, was recently found covered in thousands of icy balls.

The size of the snow spheres range from a tennis ball size to almost one meter.

The snow balls are believed result from a rare environmental process where small pieces of ice are rolled by wind and water, and end up as giant snowballs.
