Boreholes drilled into the frozen surface of the polar regions (to retrieve ice cores for research) can be up to 3.5km deep.
Dropping a chunk of ice into one of these echoey vertical tunnels makes for very pleasing sounds indeed (best heard with the sound up or headphones on).
Two and a half very pleasing minutes of macro photography featuring ice crystals forming on the surface of soap bubbles in frigid temperatures – shot over the course of 30 hours by the very patient Jens Heildler.
Do the penguin walk! 🐧
Walking like a penguin in snow and ice will help prevent slips, trips and falls.

P-p-pertinent advice.
A few photos of the graupel that fell here in the last 24 hours. I’m delighted everyone now knows what it is now. When I used the word over the last few years people looked at me weirdly 😁 pic.twitter.com/ytUfQDAxsM

You’ll see.

Meanwhile…
Met Eireann is forecasting snow four days in a row this week with temperatures dropping to as low as -3C in a drastic weather change.
The forecast comes as the weather event that was responsible for Ireland’s Beast from the East in 2018 is predicted to happen again in the next few days.
