Rime ice. Large deposits of rime ice formed on pillars after stormy weather
Rime ice. Large deposits of rime ice formed on pillars after stormy weather at a mountain location. Rime forms as tiny droplets of supercooled water come into contact with a surface below freezing point. The deposit forms on the windward side of the object, sometimes forming these large, tabular features known as frost feathers. Rime ice is normally only found at higher altitudes, as at lower altitudes supercooled fog or drizzle is rarely encountered. Photographed at the Saentis meteorological station in the Swiss Alps

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of rime ice, a natural phenomenon that occurs after stormy weather in mountainous regions. The image captures large deposits of rime ice clinging to pillars, creating an enchanting sight. Rime ice forms when tiny droplets of supercooled water make contact with a surface below freezing point. As these droplets freeze upon impact, they accumulate on the windward side of objects, resulting in the formation of stunning tabular features known as frost feathers. It is worth noting that rime ice is typically found at higher altitudes since lower altitudes rarely encounter supercooled fog or drizzle. Photographed at the Saentis meteorological station nestled in the majestic Swiss Alps, this picture perfectly encapsulates the harsh yet breathtaking winter conditions experienced at such heights. The intricate details and delicate formations showcased by this photograph serve as a reminder of nature's ability to create awe-inspiring wonders even under extreme circumstances. The Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this snapshot, highlighting not only the environmental aspects but also evoking feelings associated with coldness and icy landscapes. This particular image emphasizes both scientific curiosity and artistic appreciation for our planet's diverse climatic phenomena without any commercial intent behind it.
