A frozen waterfall in Korouoma, Finland
To celebrate Finland’s 99 years of independence, we’re marvelling at one of the many frozen falls at Korouoma, a gorge near the city of Posio. In summer, the waters flow over the sides of the gorge, but as winter temps freeze the water in place, the gorge walls become sheets of ice. Korouoma doesn’t close down for winter, though. Ice climbers from around the world journey here to conquer this formidable challenge.
