Frost flower (DI01958)
A frost flower near Barrow, Alaska. Little known outside the world of polar research, these crystalline structures haven't been studied much till recently. Forming atop fresh sea ice, they're highly salty, which makes them potentially important in the chemistry of depletion events. The Arc...
