This work documents the atmospheric event where a red maple specimen was naturally encased in ice during an overnight freeze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy capturing the specimen in this state, Sebastian Mader arrests its beauty and the elements of its life cycle, water and gas, at a specific point in time.
