On hollow spiral prismatic crystals of ice on the surface of snow
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 March 2018
Extract
Last winter I enjoyed the good fortune of spending some three months at Zweisimmen in the Bernese Oberland of Switzerland, in order to participate in the winter sports. Happily it proved a fine, cold winter of hard frosts and moderately heavy total snowfall. During such a stay in the crisp, dry cold of a snow-mantled world, the manifold and beautiful forms assumed by snow and ice are set before one in a manner impossible in this relatively warm and moist isle with its fleeting glimpses of true wintry weather.
