Ice skaters are amazing. Despite how much skill and effort it takes to perform, the best ones make it seem as though it’s easy. But an ice skater’s routine is not the only way they can dazzle a crowd. The location of the performance can be just as breathtaking, if not more. Not sure what I mean? Then there is a good chance you have never had the opportunity to witness a drowned forest.

A drowned forest, also known as ghost forests, looks like something out of a fantasy world. There are a few possible causes, like a rise in sea level. But the result is what leaves people oh-so curious about this phenomenon, especially when the water is frozen. It’s no wonder ice skaters like Luc Mehl simply can’t resist venturing out into these breathtaking spaces. Catch a glimpse for yourself in the video below!
“I love the novelty of skating around these trees! Choose your own adventure,” Luc writes in the caption of his post. “And it is refreshing to skate over shallow water after deeper bodies of water … just feels less vulnerable.”
While you can find drowned forests throughout the world, this one in particular can be found in Palmer, Alaska. Want another look? The video below gives us a different, but just as magnificent, view!
