Frozen Origins

Add to Lightbox

I've always been fascinated by the intricate and abstract world of ice during the winter months, and one of the most intriguing findings I've ever had was of a collection of bubbles trapped in the frozen surface of a local pond. When I zoomed in on the selection of bubbles captured here, my brain ran wild as I processed the various shapes and attempted to determine what they looked like, similar to staring up at the clouds and seeing animals and faces. I settled on what I imagine the “primordial soup” - a hypothetical liquid that existed on Earth billions of years ago that was rich in organic compounds and favorable for the emergence of life – looked like, albeit frozen.
