The Frozen Sea, in Sweden, 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.
Signs advise you to remove your seat belt for a quicker exit should your car come across thin ice. There are several daily flights to Lulea from Stockholm, which is easier than driving the 900 kilometers.
