完美的雪花的照片

Snowflakes — those intricate, one-of-a-kind ice crystals — form when precipitation falls through varying levels of humidity and temperatures in the air. While plenty has been written about the science of snow, we're focusing on the sheer beauty of them. Here are some to study and admire, with a nod to some beautiful frost as well.

雪花——那些復(fù)雜的、獨一無二的冰晶——是在空氣中不同濕度和溫度的降水過程中形成的。雖然已經(jīng)有很多關(guān)于雪的科學(xué)的文章，但我們現(xiàn)在關(guān)注的是雪的純粹之美。這里有一些值得研究和欣賞的照片，還有一些美麗的霜凍。
