The author constructs a sequence of minimal disks that are properly embedded in an open ball in Euclidean 3-space and whose curvatures blow up precisely at the points of a radial line segment in the ball. In the complement of the segment, the disks converge to a minimal lamination whose leaves the author describes. The disks are constructed using the Weierstrass representation. Previously, Colding and Minicozzi constructed a sequence in which the blow up set is a single point, and Brian Dean constructed examples showing that the blow up set could be any finite subset of a line segment.
