After the winter we’ve had in a lot of the U.S., we’re not inclined to see a lot of beauty in ice. But the truth is, when you’re not ready to smother yourself with a North Face if you see another flake, icy landscapes can actually be stunningly lovely. And global warming means we should probably enjoy them while we can.

This video, taken by a GoPro-enabled drone in Alaska, should do nicely. It’s so lovely and relaxing, it might even make you smile benevolently on the much less beautiful frozen wasteland outside your window.

Maybe ice isn’t so bad after all.
