As Jeff Peneston walked for miles across the frozen surface of the sea ice, he noticed ice flowers blooming everywhere. As the cold air contacts the sea ice of McMurdo Sound, these flower shaped crystals grow in clusters. The group of crystals in the center of the photo was about the size of a person's fist. On the sea ice, near the icebreaker Oden.
