A zoom into the upper left area of Frost II (http://www.fractalforums.com/images-showcase-(rate-my-fractal)/frost-i/). Here the lakes have become windows into period-26 basins in the dynamic plane.

The greatly increased calculation time is due to the need for aggressive antialiasing to get the centers of the spirals to look good.
