Neat shot! We get the spikes sometimes in our ice cubes.

Thanks all. And thanks for the links johnip.
It is the cup holder on top of a cooler that was left out in the rain.
Rain filled the holder, than froze a few days later.

I've also seen these in ice cubes using water that has been filtered, but this is cool natural formation.

That's really cool, and reading the comments proved to be pretty educational as well!
