Several rivers freeze in winter and this one is Moskva River in Nagatino in Moscow. One of my young friends from India got a posting in Moscow to teach English. She told me that she walked on a frozen river. I got the shudders when I heard that. There is always the possibility of encountering thin ice and one has the possibility of going under. I admired this girl's courage. I would never.

This is true, there is always a risk walking on a frozen lake or a frozen river.

@LadyDuck The freezing I understand is not even. I have watched movies when thin ice has swallowed those walk on frozen ice. Willie I am sure knew where not to walk

@allknowing I remember when Willy (the cat) walked on our frozen pond in winter. I stayed outside to check that he did not fall inside, my poor silly cat.

This girl who did that was really bold and this is her first foreign assignment.

Some areas have really extreme weather conditions. I admire the resilience to be able to live in such places.

It is a matter of getting used to and 'what cannot be cured has to be endured' kind of a situation.

@allknowing Right. We have really bad storms once in a while and severe flooding. We endure.

Rivers are the most dangerous as it takes the ice a lot longer to get thick because of the moving water underneath. Glad she made it safely.
