One of the most common forms of patterned ground in Arctic regions are ice wedge polygons. In winter the cold causes frozen soil to shrink, and cracks form (similar to drying mud). In spring meltwater seeps down into the cracks. It freezes and expands when it is chilled by the still-frozen soil. The frozen water forms wedges of ice in the soil. The ice wedges tend to increase in size year after year. I found these patterns by chance flying a drone over tundra. It is much harder to observe these polygons from ground level.
Pingos are ice-cored hills, 3–50 m (10–165 ft) high and 30–1,000 m (98–3,281 ft) in diameter. They are typically conical in shape and grow and persist only in permafrost environments, such as the Arctic. The Tuktoyaktuk Peninsula is an area with a marine tundra environment on the shores of the Arctic Ocean with the greatest concentration of pingos in the world. In the foreground, you can see ice-wedge polygons. In winter the cold causes frozen soil to shrink, and cracks form (similar to drying mud). In spring meltwater seeps down into the cracks. It freezes and expands when the still-frozen soil chills it. The frozen water forms wedges of ice in the soil. The ice wedges tend to increase in size year after year. When ice wedges connect, they can form tundra polygons. These polygons are most striking when viewed from the air.
A drone view straight down onto a frozen pond, where melting ice reveals organic patterns beneath the surface. Dark branching shapes spread like veins or roots, turning a simple winter scene into an abstract composition shaped entirely by nature and temperature.
Fun fact: As ice melts, cracks often follow invisible stress lines created by temperature changes. These natural fracture patterns can resemble river deltas, plant roots, or even neural networks — a phenomenon studied in both geology and physics.
The midnight sun shines on the coast of the Tuktoyaktuk Peninsula in Canada's Northwest Territories. The landscape is dotted with pingos, dome-shaped hills formed in a permafrost area when the pressure of freezing groundwater pushes up a layer of frozen ground. In the left foreground, you can see tundra polygons, a natural pattern of geometric shapes formed in permafrost areas. Nearby is a young pingo. In the right distance is the Inuvialuit community of Tuktoyaktuk, the end of the road to the Arctic Ocean. The photo is a drone panorama stitched from 6 vertical images.

I positioned myself in the far corner of the hall to claim the widest possible view of this room, which rewards that patience. A tighter crop would have been a lie — the whole argument of this space is accumulation, the Roman conviction that every surface is an opportunity and restraint is a failure of imagination. From this angle I can hold the floor, three walls, and the painted ceiling simultaneously, which is the only way to communicate what it actually feels like to stand here. The floor is the first thing to study: opus sectile in rosso antico, grey limestone, verde antico, and white Carrara, arranged in an interlocking pattern of circles, diamonds, and irregular polygons that manages to feel both systematically Roman and almost improvisational. The walls layer verde antico pilasters over diagonal-striped scagliola shafts, with emerald diamond lozenges, rosso antico roundels, and giallo antico panels stacked in horizontal registers — a polychrome wainscot program that cites the House of the Faun and the Stabian Baths simultaneously. Then the coffered ceiling breaks into a painted garden of vines, grapes, and birds on a deep burgundy ground. The lone marble table on lion-paw supports is perfectly placed, the one quiet note in a room that is otherwise shouting. The open door to the garden — flooded with California daylight — is the exit valve that keeps it from tipping into claustrophobia.
