Frost Feathers

Alaska Scenic Photography

At minus 10 to 20 degrees Fahrenheit, delicate frost feathers build across a cabin window over long, still days — each crystal grown one microscopic element at a time along invisible surface flaws. The resulting patterns are as intricate and unrepeatable as snowflakes, a reminder that Alaska's cold produces its own quiet art.
