Because the droplets are small, they freeze almost instantly creating a mixture of tiny ice particles and trapped air. The ice deposit formed is rough and crystalline and it is not possible to see through it. Bridging The Great Health Divide. Building Our Communities. Latest Newscasts. Submit Photos and Videos.
