These photos of stretches of frozen water are absolutely magnificent

The ice can be ravaged or even fatal, but it can also inadvertently create some of the most beautiful and fascinating winter sites. Ice formations are subject to a million different variables, and the slightest change in humidity, temperature or wind speed can create very different results.

Ice water creates an amazing variety of patterns: lace lines with frozen bubbles passing through perfect snowflakes with all the unimaginable shades of blue, green and white. The most surrealist in all this, is the fact that you can sometimes walk on these natural beauties! In the coldest four corners of the world, here are the most beautiful lakes, oceans and frozen ponds in the world.
