Winter is the best season to watch snow. Many people like to watch snow and ice at this time. Playing in ice and snow, skating, admiring ice sculptures, building snowmen, and snowball fights are the dreams of many people. Here's a look at some of the world's most captivating ice and snow cities in winter.


Netherlands-Narden


Naarden is a town and municipality in the Cuy region of North Holland. The city has a typical Spanish architectural structure, thick walls and a wide moat. In winter, the walls and moats that protect the town freeze, creating a world of ice crystals.


Canada-Gracefjord


Ellesmere Island is the tenth largest island in the world and the northernmost island in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. It is located near the North Pole, with a cold climate, widespread glaciers and permafrost underground. The permafrost is distributed with lower vegetation such as moss and lichens.


Finland-Lapland


The most attractive place to visit in Finland is Lapland. Three-quarters of Lapland is in the polar region, and the local unique polar scenery and indigenous people's customs make tourists from all over the world fascinated by it. Lapland is located in northern Finland. Winter starts in October every year, and spring does not start until May of the following year. During the 8-month winter, the fluttering snow turned the earth into a fairy-tale world. Not participating in snow sports in Lapland is the biggest loss. There are great ski slopes here, and you can really experience the fun of skiing in style. Snow sports are not only skiing, but also take a sleigh and let the reindeer or snow dog pull all the way to run happily, giving you a fresh and exciting feeling.


Iceland-Glacial lake


The melting of the Vatnajökull ice sheet created this galaxy-like glacial lake. About 100 years ago, glaciers on land extended almost to the ocean. Of course, climate warming has also affected the glacial lake. In 1975, its area was 8 square kilometers, and now it has an area of more than 20 square kilometers. In winter, the glaciers on the river look extraordinarily beautiful. In countless refractions of sunlight, the glacier absorbs most of the light, leaving only the blue light. When tourists walk by the river, looking out at the glacier gives a feeling of sparkling pearls and sapphires, which looks very beautiful.


Denmark-Greenland


Greenland is a region of towering mountains, massive blue-green icebergs, majestic fjords and barren outcropping rocks. From the air, it looks like a vast, empty wilderness, where jagged black peaks occasionally penetrate the blinding white and endlessly stretched ice fields.


Greenland is an island of immense beauty and great geographic variation. The most impressive feature is its huge ice sheet, which is 10,000 meters thick in some places, and covers about 81.7% of the entire island. Because there is only snow and no rain all year round, except for a few areas such as the southwest coast where there is no permafrost, and there are a few trees and green spaces, Greenland is a kingdom of ice and snow. 75% of the island is covered with glaciers and thick icebergs.
