A FROZEN COMMUTE

copenhagen

LOCAL CULTURE.

For the past 14 winters, residents of Copenhagen have been unable to safely venture onto the city’s frozen lakes. Now, sufficient chill has turned the ice into a temporary extension of the city, a place for gathering, skating, sliding and even cycling.

Copenhagenzine describes how the frozen lakes augment the city and the way it is experienced: “The thing that hits me [...] is how much real estate is suddenly available to the citizens. [...] You really get the sense that the city has suddenly grown. Standing on the ice in the middle of one of the lakes you experience views that are otherwise inaccessible [sic].”
