Peak Fansipan blanketed in ice on Christmas Day
Early on the morning of December 25, the first visitors
reaching the summit of Fansipan in the northern province of Lao Cai were
delighted to witness a rare and spectacular natural scene as ice coated the
peak in white. With temperatures hovering between 1 and 3 degrees Celsius,
frost and ice covered the summit area, creating an ideal condition for tourists
eager to admire icy scenery, clouds and experience a Christmas atmosphere amid
a sea of cold mist. Photo by courtesy/VNA
