Slovenia's Mount Javornik, a popular skiing spot, was subjected to nine days of strong winds, snow and ice starting on December 1. After the storm passed, photographer Marko Korošec went to the summit to photograph the results. What he found was a wonderland of trees, vegetation and structures coated in a hard layer of ice.

Korošec says the summit was covered in dense fog during the storm, which helped to create the formations. Rime ice forms when the water droplets in fog freeze to the surface of exposed objects. Courtesy Marko Korošec

He says that at some of the most exposed areas on the mountain, the ice was 40 inches thick. "A remarkable amount of hard rime, I've never seen this before." Courtesy Marko Korošec
