The picture is borrowed(linked) from SSSK in Stockholm. An association of iceskaters.Glansis (Smooth hard ice) is what we get these first days of cold weather. This is like skating on a mirror, a fantastic feeling. Sometimes so clear you can see the rock on the bottom, many meters below the surface. I have not tried yet this year, but I longing..
There are so many words describing ice: some examples here (in Swedish)
I love "glansis"! Skating on glass, seeing rock bottom and some (probably very cold) fishes moving about - what a life!!!
ReplyDeleteGlansis means literally shiny ice, and that is what this is!
