Jagged Beauty. At the core of all avalanche research is snow itself. Often hexagonal-shaped, the tiny crystals that make up snowflakes are as exquisitely formed as the finest man-made jewelry. As the crystals alter their beautiful structure under the influence of wind, temperature change, icy vapors and the weight of fresh snow, they may lose their ability to interlock.

Though you can see the painted lines and even bubbles in the glass, the availability of detail does not counteract the effect of the inappropriate background. The modern white setting drains luminosity from the lyrical scenes...
