Snow flower decorations are also woven into rugs and carpets of hotel lobbies and corporate office cubicles and other locations where you can to further the education of a budding young scientist.
Historic Snowflakes
Enlarged drawings of designs illustrated by early arctic explorers. When microscopes were first invented, explorers of arctic and cold, snowy regions made use of the magnification to view the tiny crystals. Researchers would withstand hours of freezing temperatures to study the various shapes of crystals in microscopes and illustrate the findings on paper in log books.
