Kulm, North Dakota Photo Credit: Krista Lundgren/USFWS Make no mistake, it is cold out! 12/15/2020 02:52 PM EST USFWS Mountain Prairie posted a photo: A frosty morning on the National Elk Refuge created a beautiful scene. Frozen fog, or suspended ice crystals, is a common phenomenon on the Refuge. What is fog? It is basically a cloud near the ground. Clouds are composed of water droplets and ice crystals. Add super cold temperatures and move that cloud to the ground and you get frozen fog!

Just out of site of this photo is the Gros Ventre River, which creates a natural boundary between the park and the refuge.

Longer sunsets? We approve!
