What makes it particularly intriguing is the extreme precision of its creator, especially given that it has been so carefully measured out and there is only a single set of footprints leading away from it.

Barrow was able to use a drone to captured aerial footage of the image.

"I couldn't believe it when I saw it," he said. "I just came across it by chance. It looks like completely virgin snow. It was fantastic to see. I don't know how they have done it."
