S10E33· A polar cold snap hits Northern Europe
· 30m
Persistent frost gripped northern Germany and Poland at the beginning of 2026. Nighttime temperatures plummeted to double-digit sub-zero levels, freezing lakes, rivers, and even parts of the Baltic Sea. In some places, even icebreakers could no longer navigate the frozen landscape. An arctic-like scene of ice and snow, which is not without its challenges.
