Vladivostok, Russia — Shocking images from Vladivostok, in Russia's Far East, show incredible icicle formations and frozen waterfalls by the local port. This phenomenon is the result of maritime vapor condensing during the winter season, according to the Argentine News Agency. As reported by Xinhua, the ice structures formed when sea breeze transported water vapor that froze on contact with streetlights, railings, and various public objects, creating a striking landscape typical of the region. The images, taken on December 19 and published on Saturday, show how low temperatures and coastal humidity create ideal conditions for ice to accumulate on exposed surfaces. «The harsh winter in Russia,» reports agency NA (Xinhua).
