[sound fx: ice, icy lake][spoken word] the sounds of the ice is different every winter depending on how fast the ice grows and how much snow is covering the surface the colder the louder sounds being out on the ice when it sings the most is a very special experience if the ice cracks close to you you can feel like a wall of vibration from the sounds almost knocking you down it's very powerful and by have to admit that it feels a bit spooky to walk down to the ice in the night changing batteries in my sound recorder while being surrounded by these loud strange sounds it's like the sound of an ancient spirit awakening under the ice roaring out in the night and the ice does not only make this magical music it also creates a masterpiece on the ice
