wow, that looks spectacular!
Haha, you know how much fun that would be to sled down? I would totally do it, too! I mean, come on...that's a perfect sledding hill!
unbelievable...fantastic capture!
I've seen those pics. very beautiful, but they are not frozen waves. it's actually glacial ice that's been eroded by wind or sun into a wave like shape. the color and clarity of the ice is the give away.
check out "Blue Ice" on wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_ice_(glacial)
there's always one that has to ruin it
"There's always one who has to ruin it"
It's either spectacular and beautiful or it is not. Why can't we accept the beauty of a garden without also having to believe there are fairies at the bottom of it?
No glaciers her or waves that big
Does anyone know exactly and with quite certainty where theses photos were taken?

Has info on who took the pics and when. Also explains they aren't frozen waves, as an earlier poster already indicated.
Thank you, Helge - info updated.
Once again with mammoths. My, others' as well, humble theory.

Then came the flood and the space-cold water came (locally) pouring down.
