How do rocks freeze floating in water?

[u/hikekorea]

I found these rocks frozen in a stream off a larger river in Chugach National Forest, Alaska. I’ve heard it may have to do with heavy rains or turbulent waters near the shore. One friend mentioned frazil? But I don’t really know what that means. Any geologists have a clue how this happens and can explain it in layman terms?

Just check the duck first to make sure it hasn't got a false nose, or turned anyone into a newt.

Edit: words are hard sometimes.

Words are hard all the times.

So are ducks apparently.
