Hoar frost in woodland
Hoar frost on trees during a freezing fog. Hoar frost forms in a similar way to dew, in that water is deposited from air that is supersaturated with water vapour. This can occur when moist air cools rapidly. The difference is that the temperature of the deposition surface is below the freezing point of water, and ice crystals form. Hoar frost forms in still, clear and cold weather. Photographed near the Alaskan Highway, British Columbia, Canada

EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking panoramic print captures the enchanting beauty of hoar frost in a woodland setting near the Alaskan Highway, British Columbia, Canada. As freezing fog blankets the area, delicate ice crystals form on every surface, transforming the landscape into a winter wonderland. The intricate patterns created by hoar frost are truly mesmerizing. Hoar frost develops when moist air rapidly cools and water vapor in the air condenses onto surfaces with temperatures below freezing point. Unlike dew, which forms droplets of water, hoar frost creates stunning ice formations that cling to trees and branches. The stillness and clarity of this cold weather contribute to its formation. The image showcases nature's artistry as each tree becomes adorned with a white icy coat against a backdrop of dense forest. The frozen panorama evokes feelings of tranquility and serenity while reminding us of the harshness that winter can bring. This photograph not only captures an awe-inspiring moment but also serves as a reminder of our planet's diverse climate conditions. It highlights how meteorological phenomena like freezing fog can create such ethereal scenes in woodlands across Canada. With this print from Science Photo Library adorning your walls, you'll be transported to this magical Canadian forest where nature's delicate touch leaves no branch untouched by its icy embrace.
