What happens if you spill hot tea near the Arctic Circle at a temperature of -40 ° C?

Science claims that hot water spilled at freezing temperatures turns into a cloud of ice crystals. Ontario photographer Michael Davis was able to capture this phenomenon on camera. A few days ago, Davis went to a place located just 20 km from the Arctic Circle, taking with him a friend Marcus, a thermos with hot tea and a camera. The temperature here reached -40 ° C.

“I live in a remote place, in a village called Pangnirtung, in the Canadian Arctic,” the photographer says. “Between sunrise and sunset, we only have 2.5 hours of light, so around 13.00 I went with my friend Markus to the top of neighboring mountains where light (almost always pink) spreads over the hills.We took a few thermos with tea, began to splash it and take pictures.None of these photos was random: I monitored the temperature, waited for the wind to calm down to take these pictures Even the sun in the center of the spray is something that I really hoped to shoot.
