SPRINGVALE — The ice disk in Westbrook is the most famous in Maine– and then of course, there’s the one in Baxter State Park in Piscataquis County. Now, there’s another – a much smaller version – seen Wednesday in the Mousam River, off Stanley Road. A sharp-eyed motorist noticed the phenomenon and posted a photo on social media.

“I was on my way to work and I always look over at the river because it is a nice area,” said Matt Toulouse, who spotted the disk on  Wednesday morning. “I happened to notice the ice and it kind of looked like a disk. I turned around and came back to look. When I saw it was a disk I thought of the Westbrook disk and how it fascinated so many people. I took the picture and sent it to my daughter Evelyn. When I posted it I thought it would be funny and maybe a few other people would get a laugh too. It’s nice to start a day with a laugh.”

The disk is estimated to be four to five feet across. It did not appear to be spinning, as the other disks have, when viewed at 9 a.m. on Wednesday.

Officials at Baxter State Park in northern Maine shared a photo on Jan. 18 of an ice disk that’s about 30 or 40 feet wide, located in wilderness more than 200 miles north of a much larger disk that formed in Westbrook.

The first ice disk, about 100 yards wide, attracted international attention after it was spotted in the Presumpscot River in Westbrook in early January. It has spun and stopped and restarted a couple of times. The ice disk is believed to have formed naturally where there’s a circular current that creates a whirlpool effect.
