Ice-nine

→

Those who have read Kurt Vonnegut’s book should need no explanation. In the novel, it is imagined that an important scientist develops a kind of catalyst capable of causing water to freeze at 45 °C.
Fatally, the ‘catalyst’ ends up in the ocean, spreading everywhere and causing a general freeze.

In this illustration I try to imagine what one would see, some time later, after the transformation of the seas into ice-nine.
