I love everything about this post, beginning with the opening quote and the reclaiming of words. And then getting to see such a wide variety of astonishing and poetic formations. One of my all time favorite posts of yours so far!!!!!!
absolutely gorgeous, almost unbelievably intricate patterns in ice, along with how their creation occurs. Thank you for this wondrous essay. I'm afraid Ice will continue for a while longer, despite this reclamation of the word. But ice will outlast everything.
Thank you, Abigail-- I'm afraid you're right about the continuation of the acronymic curse but the reminder that the real thing will outlast it all ... YES!
I find it almost unbelievable that ice forms in such amazingly beautiful designs as the one photographed by Cammie Watson. SOOO stunning. Thank you for explaining the different types of ice that form.
Thank you for your comment! I wish I could have covered even more of the intricate presentations of ice in the natural world -- frazil ice, snow rollers, pancake ice, and more. And snowflakes!
