Winter Magic at Moscow's Never-Ending Ice Rink

Description

Russia has long been known as the land of the snow, and they certainly know how to enjoy winter. Welcome to Moscow's Gorky Park, the scene of one of Europe's biggest, and longest, ice skating rinks. Artificial ice covers nearly two hundred thousand square feet of Gorky park, so you wouldn't be wrong if you said that you could skate for eternity. This year's skaters at Gorky Park noticed a big difference. Nearly forty thousand square foot of graffiti has been sprayed under the ice in different styles. One of the pieces even featured Russian warships from the early 20th century. Visitors can also enjoy an eight-metre high frozen fountain as well as an ice maze, which invokes the magic of the Northern Lights through its green illuminations. It's not all bad in Russia for the winter, but if you're trying to skate Gorky Park in the cold season, make sure to bundle up!
