Seegfrörni 1963

 

Not a word I was aware of previously.

That is Swiss German for the great lake freeze of 1963.

During the winter of 1962/1963 it was so cold in Switzerland that Lake Zurich froze over! In Swiss German this phenomenon is called 'Seegfrörni' which simply means 'freezing over of a lake'. For a lake as big as Lake Zurich (about 88 km2 and 136m deep) that's pretty impressive.

Googling didn't seem to find anything on this artwork, tho Ice Yachts were definitely used during Seegfrörni 1963
