Photojournalist Jonathan Nimerfroh came across a Slurpee-filled seashore.
Apparently, the Atlantic Ocean’s waterways appeared like a way due to the very cooler conditions that prompted them to ice.
Every year, lakes freeze, but freezing seas are unusual.
The photographer, surfer and ocean enthusiast set out to capture the splendor of this once-in-a-lifetime event.
The partially frozen waves whirled and slammed against the coast, seemingly made of being something more dense than water.
“The weather was screaming from the southwest,” Jonathan adds, “which might ordinarily provide rough or choppy prerequisites, not very good for riding.”
The wind had minimal influence on the shape, since the sea’s bottom was frozen slush.
Those were perfect slush waves. This bizarre phenomenon is seen in the photos here.
The “Slurpee Waves” photo series are fantastic.
Temperature fluctuations in the water and the air generates the waves’ distinct look.
The temperature in Nantucket at the time he shot these images was 19 degrees Fahrenheit.
Jonathan is “passionate with water,” and in parallel to other sea-centric photographs, he is an avid surfer.
In “Stay Strange Magazine,” he recalled the day he captured the photos, stating, “Just been pretty chilly here.”
The mainland port is entirely frozen.
The shoreline for 150 meters out froze the following day when he took these.
