Short summary

Ice growth has been studied extensively using standard microscopy methods. However, real-time microscopic observations of ice nucleation and growth are not extensive and require electron microscopy in water vapour (ESEM). This technique reveals a plethora of micromorphologies. New are holes on the ice surface, located inside grain boundaries, and nanoscale asperities, which we found during sublimation.
