The frozen water world of Lake Akan in northern Japan
- Role: setting
- In the article: Each spring melting ice releases marimo algae balls. Winds create currents that carry them out of reach of whooper swans and clean them as they spin.
- Why it matters: A distinct habitat in which the marimos’ survival depends on the lake’s winds and currents.
