Day 89: December 23, 2004 - Desert Ice


by Karen Williams
While hiking through a sandy wash, I came across some ice formations which had unique shapes.

There are a lot of geometric shapes in this formation. It is amazing how different this formation was from the one above, even though they are both ice found close together in the wash.

This ice froze on top of a puddle in the wash. Because of the dry climate in the park, the water underneath the ice was absorbed into the sand or evaporated, leaving only a sheet of ice behind. When you accidently step on a piece of this "dry ice" it creates a strange sensation because of the hollow underneath the ice - as if you are stepping on a floating piece of glass.

365 IN ZION

365 Days in Zion is a photo experience by Karen and Christian Williams. Together, we spent an entire year in Zion National Park amidst snow, rain, flash floods, brush fires, and the beautiful sunny blue skies that typify Southern Utah in the United States of America.
