Welcome to ‘Ice Bubbles’

Few people will ever see an Ice Bubble. For over a decade I’ve photographed these fleeting winter miracles before they disappear forever. ‍ ‍

“What are ‘Ice Bubbles’ by Jill Greer?”

‘Ice Bubbles’ are fleeting works of nature - fragile ice sculptures created in a single moment of winter. On the coldest Minnesota days, a simple soap bubble blown into below - freezing air begins to transform. Delicate ice crystals grow across its surface, creating intricate patterns that exist for a brief moment in time before the bubble disappears. For years, I have photographed these extraordinary frozen moments, preserving the beauty of something that can never be recreated.
