To the average layman, freezing and boiling are two completely opposite things. However, under the right conditions(pressure and temperature), the two can occur together. Typically if the pressure is really low, a substance can go straight from solid to gas as it warms. If done in a small enclosed environment, the gas produced will build up, create pressure, and turn into a liquid. The video is what happens when a substance is left “near” but not at its triple point, the point where a substance can exist in all 3 forms simultaneously.
