The sound of ice

In the last month, once ice formed, the lake has been emitting haunting sounds—moaning, talking, creaking, with an occasional burp as the ice moves and shifts with the water underneath.

Last night it sounded like lions barking, roaring in an empty zoo cage. Lonely lions in the lake.
