through the frosty crevasses

1

The BBC website has a round-up of the Environment Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2009 award (catchy!) winners.

Urmas Tartes won the Animals in their Environment category for this image of a springtail, otherwise known as a “snow flea” navigating its way through delicate snowflakes.

When the temperature drops below freezing, the insects climb down through the frosty crevasses to the warmer soil below.

See the rest at the Beeb.
