“Arctic Fox in Blizzard”

A blue arctic fox bears the wind and snow of a Norwegian blizzard in this image by photographer Klaus Hellmich. The wind is strong enough to move snowflakes several centimeters in the time the camera’s shutter is open. This leaves the image full of streaklines that reveal the paths taken by the wind and snow. This visualization technique is useful in the lab, too. (Image credit: K. Hellmich; via Colossal)
