Strong winds and rising temperatures have seen kilometre-long aeolian icebergs form in northern China's Altay Prefecture.

The ice at Wulungu Lake in Altay prefecture has begun to melt as temperatures rise. Pieces of ice continued to blow ashore and pile up forming wind-blown icebergs, stretching for tens of kilometres.

Some aeolian icebergs could reach up to 7 metres tall.

Tourist Yin Xuemei said: "I didn't expect that a strong wind could blow up the ice and form an iceberg. When I climbed onto the iceberg, I was amazed at the beauty of nature!"

Every winter an ice sheet about 1 metre thick forms on the Wulungu Lake, which is 1,035 square kilometres. In April, the temperature began to rise and the ice surface gradually melted.

Under the continuous strong northwest wind, huge blocks of ice collided with each other and eventually piled up on the lakeshore, forming the unique icebergs.
