| About |
These interesting ice stalagmites i photographed Today
in an old abandoned mine near my home town Fojnica, Central Bosnia.
For the stalagmites to form,a period of very low temperatures is required.
The average temperature for this area during January was very low,
so I felt the chances for the formation of the stalagmites was quite good.
Very cold air flows into the entrance area of the mine and freezes the floor,
but because the air near the ceiling is much warmer,
water seeping through the roof remains liquid.
However, as the water drips onto the frozen floor, it quickly freezes.
In this way, the stalagmites grow drop by drop.
The tallest stalagmite (one in the background) was perhaps 0.4 m
It should be remembered that exploring abandoned mines is extremely dangerous !!
I took this image in the front of the mine entrance. :) Best Wishes

Great photo-journalism. That was an interesting and imformative explanation on the formation of the stalgmites. Nice patterns and photo, now that I know what I'm looking at.

Forward planning. The large one you mention resembles a cloaked figure. Some of the others look like tombstones. Definitely a shoot worth repeating.
