Frozen in time: Stunning photos reveal breath-taking beauty of trees encased in ice and snow in Russia.
Set against the red and orange glow of the sky, the trees carve eerie shapes on the frigid landscape where few people dare to venture 

  • Incredible photos were captured by Russian photographer Sergey Makurin in the Ural Mountains
  • Temperature drops to a chilling -35C in the remote area during the winter
  • Peculiar trees make for unworldly figures as they stand against a magnificent, wintery backdrop
  • See more images

     It may look like a scene from the magical world of Narnia, but these photos were snapped in a remote part of Western Russia

    Clusters of frozen trees that have buckled under the weight of ice and snow appear to have been sliced in half


    Mr Makurin trekked through sub-zero weather to access an area which is isolated with very few human inhabitants for miles around

    The trees make for unworldly figures as they stand against a magnificent, wintry backdrop in Perm Krai and Sverdlovsk Oblast

    Mr Makurin said 'it's not always easy to get the perfect shot' it sometimes too him hours or even days to get it right

    Photographer Sergey Makurin captured the stunning shots while trekking through the Ural mountain range in Western Russia
