Amsterdam residents enjoyed the city's frozen canals over the weekend, even ice skating on their surface for the first time in years. The 'Beast from the East,' a massive cold front originating from Siberia that brought blizzards and freezing temperatures to much of Europe, had a silver lining. The subzero temperatures froze parts of Amsterdam's iconic Prinsengracht and Keizersgracht canals hard enough to support ice skaters.
Skaters glided gracefully across the frozen surface of Lake Baikal, the world’s deepest freshwater lake, taking in the breathtaking winter scenery while skating across huge sheets of ice dozens of feet thick. The frozen Siberian lake offers a perfectly clear view of the lake bottom as the frozen ice is as clear as glass in many places. Ice skating from one end to the other takes about 2 weeks! How would you like to skate on this lake of glass?
An abandoned two-storey wooden building turned into a magical frost kingdom after water pipes burst and met the heavy Siberian frost in Ekaterinburg on Tuesday. Furniture was covered with a thick layer of frost, the interior was transformed from the icy chill and ice crystals hung from the ceiling creating a frozen spectacle. Thick steam from the leaky pipes had created these fairytale-like scenes, taken as if straight out of the Snow Queen’s palace.
If you're afraid of heights, now is not the time to look down. Welcome to the world's highest ice skating rink, located on top of the Oko Tower skyscraper in Moscow city and exclusively reserved for those not feint of heart. Standing at nearly 1,200 feet above the ground and surrounded by sky-high bars and restaurants, the rink provides some of the best open air panoramic views of Moscow in the entire capital of the Russian Federation.
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!
