Winter is coming (because it’s surely not here yet). Get your frozen-weather fix right here.
Winter may be a bit late coming this year (especially in Europe!), so we thought we’d share a few of our favourite snow-inspired images.
From ice climbing in some unexpected places to camping in the snow, here’s a few ways to have some winter fun!
1.Climbing (man-made) ice

The Harbin Ice Festival sees incredible man-made constructions out of ice – statues, sculptures, even buildings. And if it goes up, why not climb it?

Wanna see how sharp the edges on your skis are? Andrzej Bargiel has a (not so?) fun way to find out – hanging out on the side of a small hill of rock-hard ice in the Himalayas. Dangerous? Less dangerous than other places he’s probably done this.

6.Lighting the ice

The sun shining through ice at the Lake Baikal. The lake – one of the consistently coldest in the world – is nearly entirely devoid of plant or animal life, meaning it produces crystal clear ice as seen above.

The Godafoss – one of the most famous waterfalls in Iceland – in mid-winter. It’s name literally means ‘waterfall of the gods’, and it’s over 12m high and 30m wide.

This is somewhere you don’t want to fall down – unless you’ve got a pair of ice axes and crampons to climb out with.

11.Biking the blue wall

Haven’t heard of ‘fat bikes’? They’re the easiest way to go biking where one normally would ride there skis. Where is this frozen waterfall? It’s a secret.

Pawel Karczmarczyk in Rjukan. Ice climbing is about knowing how to use your tools. A solid swing of his ice axe sends cracks spider-webbing out into the ice block.

Sunsets aren’t all about the beach. The day draws to a close in Tibet. Get a good night’s rest, for tomorrow brings more adventure!
