I took this photograph of Lake Mälaren in late summer, to the right (out of frame) is the Baltic Sea, accessed via a lock
This was last Saturday, after the past weeks’ cold weather (-15°C the day we were there)
There were long-distance skaters, skaters, cyclists, baby carriages, and walkers on the ice. Kind of scary because most people did not have safety equipment (ice picks/awls, waterproof bag with dry clothes, whistle, rope, ice pole). The day after I took this, three people went through the ice.
That’s so interesting. Thank you. I can’t really imagine the depth of cold you scandi-wiegees have to tolerate 💜
