Chicago skyline is seen beyond the arctic sea smoke rising off Lake Michigan in Chicago
The Chicago skyline is seen beyond the arctic sea smoke rising off Lake Michigan in Chicago, Illinois, January 6, 2014. A blast of Arctic air gripped the mid-section of the United States on Monday, bringing the coldest temperatures in two decades, forcing businesses and schools to close and causing widespread airline delays and hazardous driving conditions. Meteorologists said temperatures were dangerously cold and life-threatening in some places, with 0 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 18 Celsius) recorded in Chicago, St. Louis and Indianapolis. The chill was set to bear down on eastern and southern states as the day wore on. REUTERS/Jim Young (UNITED STATES - Tags: ENVIRONMENT CITYSCAPE TPX IMAGES OF THE DAY) - GM1EA170H2E01

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the breathtaking beauty of the Chicago skyline against a backdrop of arctic sea smoke rising off Lake Michigan. Taken on January 6,2014, during an unprecedented cold spell that gripped the mid-section of the United States, this image showcases nature's ability to create stunning visual displays even in extreme conditions. As temperatures plummeted to their lowest levels in two decades, businesses and schools were forced to close while airline delays and hazardous driving conditions became widespread. Meteorologists warned that these frigid temperatures were not only dangerously cold but also life-threatening in some areas. In cities like Chicago, St. Louis, and Indianapolis, thermometers recorded bone-chilling readings as low as 0 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 18 Celsius). The photograph serves as a reminder of both the power and vulnerability of human existence when faced with such harsh weather conditions. It highlights how our modern cities can coexist with nature's raw forces while showcasing their resilience against adversity. Through Jim Young's lens, we witness a frozen moment in time where urban architecture meets natural elements in perfect harmony. This image stands as a testament to the indomitable spirit of humanity amidst challenging circumstances—a symbol of hope and strength for those enduring similar trials around the world
