Adventure in the cold season: Ice diving at Urisee (Austria)

During the cold season all the life in the lake is protected by a thick sheet of ice from external influences.

 

Traces on the frozen lake.

A triangular hole makes it easier to climb in and out of the water.

 During descent we can see the fascinating rays of sunlight.

 Ice and air builds fabulous sculptures like from another dimension.

We always had to be careful in order not to injure us on the sharp edge.

A beautiful moment when we came up to the surface.
