In Norway, some people make a good income by farming ice during winter. Lakes and ponds freeze over completely in the cold season. Using this to their advantage, ice farmers cut big blocks of ice from the frozen surface with saws. These blocks are quickly collected, processed, and prepared for sale before they start melting.
This work is challenging because of the risk of slipping and falling into the cold water. The ice blocks are exported abroad, where they’re used for making ice sculptures and statues. Through ice farming, people in Norway earn steady income, even in the chilly winter months.
