Germany: Children won't know what an iced-over lake without 100,000 people partying on it looks like

Germany: Hamburg lake draws 100,000 skating fans « Where’s my Global Warming Dude? By Global Freeze

Some 100,000 skating fans were celebrating winter Saturday afternoon in Hamburg with an ice party on the outer Alster, one of two artificial lakes running through the city.

The festivities started Friday and run through Sunday. It’s being billed as Germany’s largest winter party and occurs when the river freezes over sufficiently to support a crowd.

The last outer Alster festival was 15 years ago.
