After the storm passed, photographer <a href="http://www.markokorosec.net/" target="_blank" target="_blank">Marko Korošec</a> went to the summit to photograph the results.

Korošec says the summit was covered in dense fog during the storm, which helped to create the formations.  Rime ice forms when the water droplets in fog freeze to the surface of exposed objects.
