CONT

Quand le thermomètre descend sous -40 ºC, toute l'humidité contenue dans l'air se solidifie brusquement et Fairbanks disparaît dans un brouillard de glace. Le brouillard de glace est constitué de microcristaux de glace et stagne de préférence au fond des vallées où les températures sont les plus froides. Les cristaux de glace se déposent partout comme sur les bouleaux de la photo de gauche.
