Pogonip: Frozen fog of Spanish Springs, Nevada by Julie Rodriguez Jones

Earth Science Picture of the Day on March 23, 2005

This winter wonderland doesn't owe its captivating looks to a recent snowfall -- there's no snow on any of the these trees. Dense, freezing fog occurred all day and night for almost an entire week (beginning January 17, 2005) here in Spanish Springs, Nevada. The freezing fog, called pogonip by the Shoshone, which translates to "white death," readily accumulated on trees and most other exposed surfaces. Each day this veneer of rime ice was heavier. Temperatures were mostly in the 20s, and ice was everywhere.
