Winter outdoors

Ice crystals sparkle in the rare winter sun. Deep temperatures stop time and create unique, transient shapes and landscapes.

Glittering, sparkling snow and ice create a fascinating new world… with inhuman conditions that can quickly become dangerous. These photos let you enjoy and appreciate the extremes of nature from a warm place.
