About	underground at the Nanisivik mine. In inactive openings, the frost would build up quite think (to ½ metre or so). This picture is about a 10 minute exposure but since there is no light, exposure length means nothing. In all, about 10 to 20 flash bursts were used in various places.

-12 !!! Bikini weather huh! :) Could have got a nice snow tan. :)

I have always enjoyed cave exploration but ice just seems so much more fragile to me. Intersting info. Thanks.

Cheers - Ann :)

Hi Ann!! Thanks for the comment. It was part of the mine that hadn't been worked in about 10 or 12 years and had very little air currents. Hence it had the ability for the frost to accumulate, year after year... It was very unique and amazing with all the sparkling frost crystals. The distant flash was about 50 to 100 metres away... Plus, there was about 20 to 40 cm of "snow" - frost that fell off the back/walls - causing walking to be quite difficult... Temps were a pretty stable -12°C year round except near the fresh air intakes... I always found underground to be quite interesting, even man-made envrironments. Cheers, Gary

WOW Gary, you never disappoint with your shots. A most unusual scene with the thick frost covered walls and to capture it with such a unique lighting technique. Looks like an ice tunnel and I suppose in effect it is. Fascinating. Great job.

Cheers - Ann :)
