The compressing force of a footstep in the snow, often leads to a progressive series of freeze/thaws resulting in melt-resistant ice...
The final product is essentially "tempered snow", coming to exist in a very similar manner to that of tempered metal, such as found in a samurai sword. A series of heavy poundings on the metal of a sword would cause a re-alignment of the constituent molecules. Those untouched, like the missing snow from above, are the weakest of the lot, thus will not "weather" well. From this photo, we may also learn to step lightly as scientists, lest we leave our trail: An ill-tempered society, and nothing else. ICE TOUR LAST 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 NEXT
