Beautiful methane bubbles trapped in the ice on Smith Lake in Fairbanks, Alaska. This striking black-and-white square-cropped image showcases the intricate patterns formed by layered bubbles centered around a densely packed cluster of large bubbles in the middle. The ice creates a nearly complete black background, allowing the white and gray bubbles to stand out dramatically. This captivating photograph is part of my 'Water and Ice' project, which explores water and ice's many forms and transformations in the natural world.
