Day 8 - Skating on Thin Ice

Day 8 of #RCIAdvent takes us to Sweden, courtesy of National Geographic who show us the art and science behind “Wild ice skating” or “Nordic skating.” Skaters seek out the thinnest, most pristine black ice possible—both for its smoothness, and for the otherworldly sounds it emits. Check out the video below and DON’T TRY THIS AT HOME!
