Snow Monsters of Japan

A Japanese photographer has captured some amazing photographs featuring �Snow Monsters of Japan� which are formed from rime ice. Rime ice forms when the water droplets in fog freeze to the outer surfaces of objects.

The ghostly trees are a fantastic sight and are a celebrated attraction in the mountain areas of northern Japan. The �Snow Monsters of Japan� are called juhyou, which means frost-covered trees.
