I have, given our recent impulse of Arctic weather, commented on the potentially deadly nature of sub-zero temperatures. But awe-inspiring beauty can also be found in a frozen landscape. As a case in point, I am sharing two photographs Desiree captured of me throwing hot (freshly boiled) water into the air when the temperature is at -25°F.
Water boils at approximately 204°F at my altitude.
Assuming the water had cooled to an even 200°F by the time I pitched it into
the air outside, that makes for 225 degrees of difference between the air and
the water. The results are otherworldly and spectacular.
