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.
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.
