Type: Landscape
Habitat Description: Snowy Woodland
Natural History Info: This thawed, flowing body of water is still moving despite the rest of its surroundings being completely frozen. This is possible because a larger body of water will take more time and require colder temperatures to freeze completely. This contrasts to the surrounding snow that fell from the atmosphere above, as the water/snow particles are quite small as they fall and thus can more easily freeze.
What drew my attention: Seeing a running body of water in a frozen world was super incredible to see.
