Jaw-Dropping Photographs of Frozen Wonders Around the World

(Above: Blue Pond in Japan)
The Polar Vortex has given Old Man Winter a bad rep but one look at these frozen landscapes around the world will make anyone appreciate the coldest time of the year. From ponds to oceans, the placid tundras evoke a surreal landscape unadulterated and unseen by most of mankind. The various patterns on the frozen bodies are quite a sight to behold and is yet another testament to Mother Nature’s unmatched beauty.
