Ice hummocks and sculpture by nature

Marken is a village near Amsterdam and it occupies a peninsula in the Markermeer. It was formerly an island in the Zuiderzee. From the dike you have a magnificent view over the many mounds on Marken. The Rozewerf still got the original look of this ancient settlement which are still the characteristic and monumental buildings. It's really just on the dike that protects the water, once the Zuiderzee now the Markermeer. The area around Rozewerf was also regularly flooded after it came to be by the sea. Eventually a low dike was constructed leaving only skipped water at larger storms. Rozewerf with 12 icebreakers which are derived from the 12 apostles. The twelve wooden icebreakers dating in construction in 1872. The icebreakers have cultural and historical value because it authentic in appearance and become rare examples of de-icing facilities. Since the construction of the Dam there has been no more trouble. However, it has been affected by the drifting ice in the winter. The lighthouse 'Horse of Marken' stands on its own tiny island at the end of a narrow causeway and is almost completely surrounded by water, which makes its location so photogenic. Particularly in winter, when after a long period of frost during which the IJsselmeer was largely frozen over the thaw set in and the ice was starting to drift you could shoot spectacular pictures here. Fishermen went with a sliding carriage, fishing net, long stick and axe for ice fishing like their ancestors in Marken. Fishing for sparkling and flounder was a nice additional income in those days. It looks like fun but not without risk. In the old days fishermen felt with regularity in a ice-field hole and became super cooled or even drowned.

As temperatures plunge across Europe, many are cursing the cold. But not in the Netherlands. Many are hoping for further frigid conditions. Photo of hummocks taken at the Markermeer near Marken. A hummock is a boss or rounded knoll of ice rising above the general level of an ice-field, Hummocky ice is caused by slow and unequal pressure in the main body of the packed ice, and by unequal structure and temperature at a later period.

Marken is een voormalig eiland, nu een schiereiland, in het Markermeer. De Rozewerf is een buurtschap gelegen op Marken. Rozewerf is van oorsprong een terp, dat een werf wordt genoemd. Rozewerf ligt echt maar net aan de dijk die het beschermt van het water, ooit de Zuiderzee thans het Markermeer. Het gebied rondom Rozewerf stond ook regelmatig onderwater nadat het aan zee kwam te liggen. Uiteindelijk werd een lage dijk aangelegd waardoor er alleen bij wat grotere stormen water oversloeg. Sinds de aanleg van de Afsluitdijk heeft men daar ook geen last meer van. Wel heeft men last van het kruiende ijs in de winter. Daarom staan er ook ijsbrekers net buiten de dijk in het Markermeer. Er staan 12 ijsbrekers welke zijn afgeleid van de 12 apostelen. De twaalf houten ijsbrekers dateren in aanleg uit 1872. De vuurtoren 'Paard van Marken' staat op zijn eigen piepkleine eilandje aan het einde van een smalle dijk en is bijna volledig omgeven door water, wat de ligging zo fotogeniek maakt. Het Paard van Marken is een vuurtoren van Marken. De vuurtoren is gebouwd in 1839 en staat op de oostelijke punt van het eiland. De toren heeft een hoogte van 16 meter en een lichtbereik van 16,7 km. Vooral in de winter met het kruiend ijs kan je hier spectaculaire foto's maken. Foto van kruiend ijs langs de dijk naar Marken. Op de achtergrond zie je de flats van Almere.
