A FROZEN COMMUTE

Written by Elsa Brown: 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].”
