The story before footage.
Witness report: So I was walking with my dog in the evening just before sunset, we were travelling into vast fields of nature to escape common modern view.
By accident I found a pond. It catched my interest since i saw a waterhole in the middle of it. Usually people drills waterholes in their ponds where fish lives, at winter time, so fish can breathe.
I thought I will see some fishes and stuff... But as soon as i came closer, I noticed that it was evaporating. You can't see this in the video since I was filming with my phone which has not a high resolution camera.
When I stepped on that frozen pond, farther away from that waterhole (where i was standing) ice was 20 centimeters thick or even more. And that waterhole looked like it was melted with fire or something... You can see around that waterhole that there is snow or maybe ice particles blasted away from the center of this waterhole.

The simple explanation is usually correct... its a hot spring, and there is some slimy moldy bacteria or something growing just under the mud. The pressure from the spring underneath the slime causes the slime to blow up like a balloon and inflate, deflate causing that funky effect. Since its exactly in the center of the ice hole, that would indicate that the hot water is flowing from under the orange stuff.
It could also be mooch Obama bit I think the former is more likely.
Well, this is where you are supposed to poke it with a stick.

I dunno much about wintering koi/goldfish over the winter....but I have a friend who has to keep her koi pond open with a hole so the critters can survive the ice-over.
And then it grabs the stick from you and beats the hell out of you with it.
Yikes! We had our share of jellyfish encounters this past summer. MY GD was stung...and we now carry our own homemade jellyfish sting first-aid kit in the car.
THE TOXIC AVENGER!
Wow! That’s pretty amazing...15 different changes they said... always interesting seeing creatures you’ve not known about before..this was new to me..thanks!
LOL. Fer sure!
That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen.
"What the Hell is that?"
My first thought is that is a warm spring. 1) Open, unfrozen water, 2) a frog swimming by, and the redness is just a thicker muck or mud, as someone else pointed out, possibly algae (although, I thought algae only bloomed in stagnant, still water. It’s just a heavy muck that doesn’t silt around like lighter material; and 3) the fact that its activity is constant, like a hot spring you would see in yellowstone. The motion reminds me very much of that activity.
Add to that, the guy holding out his hand as if feeling the warmth of the spring, tells me it’s no creature.
Correct. The reddish hue is probably due to what is called "bog iron." When you have an iron rich environment in a reducing environment as in an a bog you will have mineral laden fluid that then oxidizes when it gets close to the surface and give that exact color as in the video. What we have in the video is a warm spring that is laden with bog iron and oxidizing as it gets near the surface.
In addition....in the glimpses you see of the dog...he looks like he could be a black Lab...and there is no way you'd keep a Lab out of that water, unless it is *hot*.
And there are no monkeys
HAHAHA!
That’s very strange. At first I thought it was some sort of anemone, but it doesn’t move like an anemone.
