Hot water turns into ice

This stunning image shows the exact moment hot water comes in touch with freezing temperatures - and the result is an incredible ice arc.

Steffen Fossbakk, 31, from Senja, Norway, captured friend Konsta Punkka, 23, making an arc with the frozen hot water in -34 degrees Celsius in Kuusamo, Finland. 

Steffen, who was been a photographer since 2004, said: This is what happens when hot, or in this case boiling, water meets extremely cold temperatures. The water turns into steam within half a second.
