Absolutly breathtaking!
this pictures are beautiful!
By waves you mean glaciers, right?
Great pictures.
The nature is so beautiful.
Imagine if there was a sea creature, like a blue whale frozen in one of those waves…how amazing would that look!
If you have any wallpaper sized versions of these I would be interested in downloading them, Particularly of the last three.
Sorry, glaciers mate.
Wow..very good pictures.. How i wish i could see them personally!
And this just proves that there is no hope for us
GG world
This is amazing!! Those are breathtaking!
that’s wickedd
dame nice pics.. i want to see it for my self in the future
raging
wow, it really wants to make you say “psshhhhh, global warming my ass”
Wow. But, how can it happen?
Hi, this is unbleaveable effort which you did for us. we never see like this pictures like this. If its are orignal.
I never see so nice ice
That is so incredibly nice. Where are they from?
this is just further proof that iceman and the xmen exist
this is so fake…Howd this happen any way …if it did at all
cool
This is amazing!
Where is this place?
Thank you for sharing!
Nice ice never no seen no before.
Hey I wonder if there are any animals frozen in there…
Nice one!
We need…we need…we need these in hi-rez for our desktops, especially the last two.
These aren’t frozen waves, they are glaciers…
Amazing!
I never english so nice speak
it looks like a dream
I would like to know where abouts on this planet that these set of pictures were taken and whether this is salt water from the ocean or fresh water from a lake. In order for salt water to freeze in motion such as this, it would take temperatures well below 100 degrees F with a 100 klm plus wind.. It would most likely been in Antarctica as temperature can fall to that extreme on certain occurances. Of course man would not be able to venture out, so the temperatue within these pictures must be very close in order to sustain the weight and volume of that water. The person in the picture is not dressed for that kinda temps.
yeah Scruffy, and imagine that inside the blue whale there was a desert where goofy was hallucinating a soda fountain from his overwhelming thirst… incredible.
(I had a good laugh)
Hello? Morons these are glaicers not ‘FROZEN WAVES’, that is just the title.
Damn public education really must suck….
These are not waves that have frozen, like the title might have you think, they are just glaciers that resemble waves. Don’t be fooled, a wave of that size cannot instantly freeze to form such a shape.
Leon Flamick, you are an idiot. These are clearly NOT waves snap frozen mid-motion. Water from melting ice has caused rivulets to eat into the solid ice . This has resulted in tunnels, troughs, etc. resulting in these magnificent shapes. I’m sorry, but you’re fucking stupid.
Where are these “frozen waves”?
Beautiful pictures, I really like the blues in the last one.
it’s a GLACIER! Not a wave. But you can see how it shows that ice isn’t completely solid, it ebbs and flows too, creating these awesome wave looking shapes!
Leon must not get out. Waves used to freeze on a lake where I grew up, speaking of which they havent for 20 years. Its because the water near the edge freezes first and waves continue to roll over the original freezes.
These are some wonderful photos!
if you think those are actual waves your just dumb…and this website has lots of grammatical errors…it offends me
Wind carved ice plates… wind pushes the cracked plates against each other, one slides on top one below and the blowing ice over time carves out what you see here.
First of all, these are not frozen waves. These are glaciers that have been receeding northward for tens of thousands of years.
For those of you who say “pssh global warming.” These structures are often a direct result of global warming. Their shapes come not from waves freezing, but from ice melting. In fact the picture which has a human in it is depressing me right now. The ice has receeded so much that you can see the rock underneath him.
To the poster above me, you appear to be trying to do science. However, your number appear to be completely arbitrary (100km wind wtf?) Frozen waves simply do not seem possible on our planet because the specific heat of Air is so poor. The transfer of energy into it is so inefficient the temperature would have to be preposterously low for it to freeze this much water in any motion.
I wish people would do research on their pictures before posting something like this. As beautiful as these pictures are, they are merely heralds of a world past.
You should all be amazed at your own sheer ignorance and/or stupidity.
I think it is sea ice that has been Eroded one can get similar formation in sandstone. Yeah i think it is glacier that has eroded.
photoshopped…
Absolutely breathtaking, but I wouldn’t want to see it for myself, to cold
PEOPLE: They aren’t waves, they’re glaciers. And no global warming? The reason they LOOK like waves with the lines in them is because they’re melting, and melting rapidly as far as glaciers are concerned.
Those look great! A few remind me of jello…
Guys, you are reading too much into this… GLACIERS.
these aren’t waves. These are in Antarctica, nowhere near the sea.
Watch march of the Penguins again, and you’ll see.
Nice one Scruffy. Just Imagine…
These are found in Antarctica at the Dome C site. They are caused by wind erosion and melting of either glacial fronts or ice plates.
Nice pics! (y) I would like wallpaper formats of this :p
Well, if the person who calls him- or herself “a retard” above is offended by the poor grammar on this page, perhaps that person should leave and visit another site to avoid being further offended. Like, who invited you?
awesome! but come to think of it
how does a wave become frozen?!
I like the calm blue colors of this pictures.
The art within the nature is just wonderful.
These are great pictures; the name “Frozen Waves” surely describes their appearance - for these are merely glaciers.
Nevertheless, these pictures capture fantastic imagery that stretch the imagination. I found more like them; they are located here.
These pictures are really amazing! It’s wonder made by nature!
surely this is global warming at it’s finest!!!!!!
Actually these are not Glaciers, nor are they “Frozen Waves”. These pictures where taken about 50 miles south from my home town. They are actually Lake Ice chunks from the Straights of Mackinaw near Mackinaw City, where the very thick Ice has cracked, and very large, sometimes 200(L)x50(W)x30(D) yard, chunks rise out of the water from extreme pressures from the current and high winds. Because of the ways they crack and the pressure, they sometimes take the shapes of waves.
Absolutly amazing!!!really
wow those are really awesome looking!
