Could it be caused by the sun’s rays reflecting from tiny ice crystals in the air?
Kan dit veroorsaak word deur piepklein yskristalle in die lug wat die son se strale weerkaats?

Repeat until the sorbet has frozen completely and contains loose flakes or ice crystals.
Herhaal die proses tot die sorbet heeltemal gevries is en los vlokkies of yskristalle bevat.

Since neither water nor ice crystals adhere to their oily fur, a good shake sends out a halo of droplets.
Aangesien nie water of yskristalle aan hulle olierige pels vassit nie, hoef hulle hulle net een keer goed te skud om van die meeste water ontslae te raak.

Some trees survive temperatures of 40 degrees below zero Fahrenheit because they contain “very pure water, without dust or dirt particles upon which ice crystals can form.” 4
Sommige bome oorleef temperature van 40 grade Celsius benede vriespunt, want hulle bevat “baie suiwer water, sonder stofdeeltjies of onsuiwerhede waaraan yskristalle kan vorm”.4

Snow consists of crystals of ice formed directly from water vapor —ten inches [25 cm] of snow is equal to about an inch [2.5 cm] of water.
Sneeu bestaan uit yskristalle wat regstreeks uit waterdamp vorm—25 sentimeter sneeu is gelykstaande aan ongeveer 2,5 sentimeter water.

These crystals are like tiny cages of ice that trap methane inside.
Hierdie kristalle is soos klein ysomhulsels waarin die metaan vasgevang is.

Others will enjoy the splendor of Niagara Falls in the winter, when mountains of ice and snow accumulate at the base of the falls, and trees and shrubs are adorned with clean, white snow or coated with ice, glistening like fine crystal in the winter sunlight.
Ander sal die grootsheid van die Niagara-waterval in die winter geniet wanneer berge ys en sneeu aan die onderkant van die waterval ophoop en die bome en struike in skoon wit sneeu getooi of met ys bedek is wat in die winterson soos fyn kristal glinster.

Initially, 350 tons of crystal-clear ice in blocks of about 6 feet [2 m] by 3 feet [1 m] by 2 feet [0.6 m] had been trucked from Belgium and had been stacked on top of each other, in accordance with the future size of the sculptures.
Aanvanklik is 350 ton kristalhelder ys in blokke van omtrent 2 meter by 1 meter by 0,6 meter per vragmotor van België vervoer en op mekaar gestapel volgens die grootte van die standbeelde wat daaruit gemaak sou word.

In describing this migration, Bernard Stonehouse stated in his book North Pole, South Pole: “Hard ice is elastic but readily deformable; under pressure its hexagonal crystals align, then slide on each other to create the flowing and slumping we associate with glaciers.”
Bernard Stonehouse het hierdie verskuiwing in sy boek North Pole, South Pole beskryf en gesê: “Harde ys is elasties maar maklik vervormbaar; onder druk word die seshoekige kristalle daarvan in lyn gebring en gly dan op mekaar om die vloeiing en wegsakking te veroorsaak wat met gletsers gepaardgaan.”

With a view to providing protection from these crystal giants of the sea, every effort has been put forth to accumulate knowledge of the characteristics and behavior of ice.
Baie moeite is al gedoen om kennis van die kenmerke en gedrag van ys te versamel sodat beskerming teen hierdie kristalreuse van die see gebied kan word.
