Frozen Lakes (Chapter 4): The Blue Maze №2 – Norway 4x3-LandscapeArtwork Information The cracks in the ice of frozen lakes are the result of the constant expansion and contraction of the ice caused by fluctuations in temperature. When the temperature drops, the ice contracts, causing stress on its surface. As the temperature rises again, the ice expands, creating cracks along the surface. The cracks often run in chaotic patterns because the stress is not evenly distributed across the ice. The strength of the ice

Wind and snow cover can create bumpy or rough textures

creating a striking visual contrast with the surrounding landscape on the southwest side of the Kenai Peninsula

abstract landscapes that shift and evolve

and seasonal melt

The ice may also have a greenish tint due to algae or other plant matter frozen within

it creates tension in the crust

it pushes dissolved gases out

and mineral content in constant interaction

these icebergs appear almost disconnected from their origin—shaped by melting
