Racetrack becomes icetrack, way cool, pun intended! Great detective work there Jeff!
Have they ever figured out what causes the stones to move?
Yes! Has to do with mountain peaks and this the strech of land being like a wind tunnel. Water seeping from the earth causing a layer of ice and then causing the rocks to slide across the l land. Something like that.

Very nice. Interesting that the cracks appear to me to be hexagonal. Does it appear that way to you? Thank you for the photo and sharing.
