COSMIC MESSAGE

In Finnish Lapland, winter can create surreal landscapes. Trees become cloaked in snow and ice, taking on unusual forms against the cold sky. Far in the distance, a Belt of Venus divides the darkened and sunlit sky. This photograph captures the stark beauty of Earth's polar regions.
