Luleå’s ice track & roads

CNN TRAVEL bucket list
In this list over natural wonders in the world to visit, Luleå’s ice track and ice roads are positioned at the 45th place out of 50!

This isn’t the only place in the world where the sea freezes over, but the town’s location — jutting out into the sea — makes the frozen water a welcome extension of the town’s streets in the depths of winter. From December to February, locals skate, snow-trek and sled across the bay, while some roads — across the sea — are passable only in winter.
