Ice pillars in a cave at Durmitor, Montenegro

Durmitor National Park features numerous extremes of nature, with four dozen peaks in the Durmitor Massif rising 2,000 feet or more. Caves up in these mountains can contain various ice formations, including the pillars seen here. At a glance, they can look like odd mineral deposits, but the chill in the air would likely cure us of that misconception.
