Soap bubble blown in sub-zero temperatures turns into stunning ice crystals before bursting

This is the incredible moment a bubble transformed into a delicate snow globe, before freezing completely and shattering.

Mesmerising footage shows a bubble balanced on a straw that quickly crystallises in sub-zero temperatures, creating a stunning swirl of delicate icy flakes.

The clip captures ice crystals dancing along the fragile surface of the bubble before it collapses in on itself, all in just 14 seconds.

Of course we all aren’t. It’s just that the animal cruelty posters make my stomach so turn that I can’t enjoy the thread anymore. I’m hiding the pix down here where they won’t find them.
