You have probably heard that no two snowflakes look alike. But, how do we know that? You can, in part, thank Wilson 'Snowflake' Bentley.

Bentley was the first person to ever photograph a snowflake, which he did at his home in Vermont (now listed in the National Register of Historic Places) in 1885. He described these flakes of frozen water as, "tiny miracles of beauty."

We agree. Check out some of Bentley's stunning photos below.
