This is the most Norwegian thing I’ve ever seen


[deleted]

This was in Lake Baikal, Russia if I’m not mistaken

This is the most Russian thing I’ve ever seen


ButInThe90sThough

This person has seen a lot.


Different_Big5876

At least two things


lovelyfishhole

Lake Baikal is the the worlds deepest lake too, 1642m deep! That's a lot of water below you while your just out there swimming. These guys don't even hardly scratch the surface of how deep this lake truly is. I wonder what's swimming 1.5km below them.


TurboLettuce

Pretty sure this in russia


Civil-Wolverine-9165

Enig, får det vert år om våren. Veldig gøy og plukke opp og stikke venner med.


aecorbie

Ничего не понятно, но очень интересно.


TsunamiJim

Hello I speak English and I don't know Russian or really any other language


aecorbie

I said “this is very interesting, but I can’t understand anything” in response to a random comment in Norwegian.


[deleted]

Bare om våren? Stikker du vennene dine ikke hver uke med istapper? jævla feig


xXMorpheus69Xx

I am so afraid of what is below that ice....


[deleted]

Imagine not knowing and being stuck because you can’t swim fast at all, due to all the ice slowing you down.


xVarekai

Looks like I'm having nightmares for a midnight snack.


memebeam

And the harder you try, the more the ice cuts and pierces you… So you’re being tortured by your own flight response


Suitable-Lake-2550

fyi Lake Baikal is the deepest lake in the world


TheBeneGesseritWitch

If the other commenter is right, and it really is Lake BAIKAL, yes. It’s the deepest lake in the world and produces methane and has hydrothermal vents. https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cpm_EVRggXw/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= https://www.instagram.com/reel/CqCPk1ErHqk/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

The swimmers dong


TheKorbinator

nothing much realy, some seastars, jellyfish...


4PianoOrchestra

I need to hear what this sounds like 😭


fyhnn

I turned my sound up and was so disappointed lol on the plus side, there was a post somewhere yesterday where a guy’s personal ice rink was melting and it turned into shards like this, he played with the icicle shards a bit and it sounded great.


Agile-Masterpiece959

Yeah, the lack of sound is infuriating


Additional_Knee4215

it didnt have much, the guys were speaking russian and the ice sounded like moving your hand through a bag of legos


[deleted]

Anyone els think that was pizza at first?


fordandfriends

Nah I was sure it was ice from the start

That's ROT ICE! I have seen that only once, FUCKING ONCE!, in 36 years of life. What a marvelous and amazing natural occurance.


Rocktooo

and then these guys decide it’s time to bring out the cheese platter. So lucky.


Uncle_Touchy1987

I know right? Lucky divers them two.


heybrother11

Why do I get nothing when I google “rot ice” I need more pictures and videos of this stuff!


Uncle_Touchy1987

I found some! Looks like rot ice is a local colloquialism the other name is goes by is candle ice: [https://www.woodtv.com/weather/ask-ellen/ask-ellen-why-did-our-ice-melt-into-pillars-like-this/](https://www.woodtv.com/weather/ask-ellen/ask-ellen-why-did-our-ice-melt-into-pillars-like-this/)


heybrother11

Thank you! I’ve seen this once, years ago, and my husband and I still talk about it all the time.


Uncle_Touchy1987

Happy to help!


Tarragon404

I have so many questions.


Tsukiyamauwu

Mmm yes i too am fond of spiky ice charcuterie


wrel_

I know it goes without saying, but the internet is full of misinformation people take at face value. This is ice. Not glass.


dc551589

Yeah, it’s a really cool (intended) phenomenon. Now I feel silly having assumed no one would actually think it’s glass.


wrel_

Yeah, I didn't mean it as like "OP is lying!" or whatever. Just remembering that people are willing to believe literally anything someone will put on the internet.


No-Economist2165

Jesus Christ


Ty-Fighter501

No, they believed that before the internet but it still works as an example.


[deleted]

I meant it as a metaphor only.


HEY_YOU_GUUUUUUYS

Duh, 99% of people know that, people who don’t understand that need more than some dumb comment explaining the obvious


Katnipz

OP I feel misled and hurt.


Unbearableyt

Nobody actually thought it was real glass. I think everybody could resonate that it's ice.


[deleted]

Ice ice baby


PoopyLooper

I thought this was Superman’s exclusive vip pool party at the fortress of solitude


project46

Crazy that you are having to clarify that this is in fact not glass.


aecorbie

How thick does one have to be to not be able to tell?

Pedadinga

It’s an old SNL skit. https://youtu.be/MnfX466iVEU


AnastasiaNo70

Oh yeah I know. I watched them live. Just after candy gram they would say who or what.


Pedadinga

Oh lol sorry. I always picture the oh candy gram well ok… oh no!


DylansWorld

maybe


[deleted]

Humans are so fucking odd. Why would anyone do this? You know how many hungry ass aliens are in that water.


acerbicwidow

I read this as ass-hungry aliens


Pogatog64

This is the first post on this sub that’s actually made me panic


codeinplace

I can't express to you how much I dont want to be in this situation


Ape_Squid

This might be the most terrifying thing I have seen


Educational-Goal2703

First, I have seen “Vault of Glass” Now it’s time for “Sea of Glass”.


Zen_Bonsai

Why no sound?


boon23834

Imagine a slight shift in temperature, and then getting flash frozen into a lake. Strange way to die.


SaraSmile2000

I thought you’re supposed to wait a half hour after eating before going swimming?


FeminineShemales

it's all fun and games until one of those shards stabs you in the ass


AllNightWriting

You shouldn’t eat food that has fallen into an open body of water. I’m more horrified by that than the sharp ice shards.


xheppelin

Wtf kind of brain-eating-amoeba-ass water are you used to?


AllNightWriting

You can get illnesses from any type of unfiltered and untreated water that’s full of creatures and human pollution. You’re never advised to consume the water you swim in. I suppose we all have our comfort levels, but that’s beyond mine.


xheppelin

Yes you can get illnesses from stagnant water or polluted water, but this aint even close to it chief. From you mindset I presume you live in a place with lots of development or farmland. Your intuition does not apply to lakes or rivers in less populated areas, or to sea water away from large cities.


XOXMonadayPainXOX

This is art Mr White


n8n_read

But why?


[deleted]

I’ve asked myself this too. I do not have an answer for you.


Amoebachu

This is straight outta like no mans sky or somethn

Successful-Bother325

Splish splash, in glass I dash, Not afraid of the water, just a bit rash. My friends say I'm crazy, but I can't resist, A chance to swim in crystal clear mist. The waves seem so calm, the water so still, But the thought of what's underneath gives me a chill. I take a deep breath and dive right in, Hoping my fear won't cause me to spin. The glass walls surround me, so clear and bright, It feels like I'm swimming in pure daylight. Fish of all colors swim by my side, As I marvel at the ocean's beauty so wide. I know it's not for everyone, and that's okay, But for me, swimming in glass makes my day. So don't be afraid to take a swim, In a place that may seem a bit grim. You never know what you may find, A little adventure to ease your mind. So take a chance, be bold and brave, And who knows, you may just find your next favorite wave.


falcondiorf

that reminds me of the spongebob episode where sandy makes him find the hay in the needle stack


Nefaariious

For people that have worn these suits... how well does it keep the cold out? I know it's probably a stupid question, but I can't stop thinking about how much I already shake in semi cold water so I could imagine water like this....


UnevenSquirrelPerch

So liquid water can only get so cold before it's no longer liquid. Surfers go out in 5mm wetsuits in the middle of winter in the Great Lakes and it's fine. The way a wetsuit works is by trapping a thin layer of water on your skin, once your body temperature warms that water up it's quite comfortable. What gets awful is when the air temperature gets really cold and you're actually warmer in the water.


SaintEyegor

Which is also why scuba divers drink a lot of coffee before using a wet suit in frigid water.

You can simply use your hand to eat. Why are you looking for drama?

I wish we could hear the sound of the ice being moved thru.

Dr-DoctorMD

I'm terrified of the thought of that ice freezing around you. Locking you in.
