Massive ice floes crush like pebbles in a frosty series by Bernhard Lang. Known for his stunning aerial photos that capture the intricate textures found around the globe, Lang recently flew above the Baltic Sea to glimpse the wintry conditions. Awash in snow and ice, the photos create a compelling tapestry of life from Estonia to Finland that includes traversing the frozen Peipsi Lake on foot and watching crystalline structures form on the water’s surface.

Lang is currently splitting his time between Germany and Estonia, and you can find more of his aerial sights on Instagram.
