There is something beautiful about winter and snow. And for people who cannot experience the snow white landscape in person, nothing beats a snow globe — a cherished world of a winter wonderland! But if you thought that the world of glass is all that is most intriguing and beautiful, you haven't seen the freezing bubbles yet. A mind-blogging water bubble can transform into a 'snow globe' in just a few seconds if the temperature is as freezing as it is in Canada at the moment, and the transformation is mesmerising. As temperatures dip around the world, people are gripped in #BubbleMadness, trying out and seeing videos of freezing bubbles — and it's oddly hypnotic. It all started freezing temperature in parts of Canada and US when people were mesmerised by the magical changes of a bubble on the snow. The creation of intricate snowflake structures and patterns was started by Canadian storm chaser and photographer Chris Ratzlaff and very soon it went viral. He later even shared the secret recipe for the bubble along with tips, so that others too can try a hand at creating a magic bubble. More freezing of bubbles. Now, better lighting and corn syrup has been added to my mixture of dish soap and salt (had to wait for Sobeys to open 😉)@PrairieChasers @PhotoEdCANADA pic.twitter.com/batEJwiXWW — Chris Ratzlaff (@ratzlaff) December 26, 2017 What would #BubbleMadness be without a more produced video? (that'll never go as viral as the vid captured with the smartphone 😜)@PrairieChasers #abwx My frozen bubble recipe - 200ml warm water - 35ml corn syrup - 35ml dish soap - 2tbs sugar pic.twitter.com/XtnIEkJdwI — Chris Ratzlaff (@ratzlaff) December 29, 2017 With #BubbleMadness trending today, here's a still from this morning. Freezing Bubbles Pro Tip: Bubbles seem to freeze quicker in humid climates. If your bubbles are popping before freezing, try blowing them onto smooth surfaces (ice, glass, etc)#abwx pic.twitter.com/PtrHA3cgTu — Chris Ratzlaff (@ratzlaff) December 28, 2017 And adding some more magic and festive spirit to the creations were photographer Craig Boehm, also from Canada.
