Scenes From a Frozen World (30 photos)

As much of the United States remains in the clutches of the polar vortex, other parts of the northern hemisphere are also feeling the extremes of mid-winter. Collected below, images from countries across the north, where icy temperatures and snowfall have drastically changed the landscape, taken over the past week.

Cloud streets and lake-effect snow stretch across the scene, as freezing winds blew across the lake surfaces in sub-zero temperatures. ( NASA Earth Observatory)
