Snowflake (heraldry) Snowflake (heraldry) The snowflake or "snow crystal", is a charge in heraldry. The display in coats of arms is following a strictly stylized form of the natural six pointed crystal form of a snowflake. In older heraldic literature, this charge is not to be seen. In modern heraldry, the snowflake is most used in northern Europe, in arms in Sweden, Norway and Finland, where it alludes to the meteorological features of the lands. Otherwise, it also is a symbol for winter, and together with the sun the changing seasons ("e.g." In the arms of Bad Kleinkirchheim, Austria, ), or locally
Koch snowflake to 2 while the progression for the perimeter diverges to infinity, so as in the case of the Koch snowflake, we have a finite area bounded by an infinite fractal curve. The resulting area fills a square with the same center as the original, but twice the area, and rotated by radians, the perimeter touching but never overlapping itself. The total area covered at the th iteration is: while the total length of the perimeter is: which approaches infinity as increases. Koch snowflake The Koch snowflake (also known as the Koch curve, Koch star, or Koch island) is a mathematical
