Fritz Peters (R) prepares his ice glider “Storm Gull”, which he built twelve years ago from historic construction plans, for a ride on the ice of the Saaler Bodden lagoon near Ahrenshoop, Germany, 21 January 2016. Sub-zero temperatures in the past days have created a thick layer of ice and made it possible for the first time since 2009 to sail the unique vehicles on the frozen flat. Some 20 of the historic ice gliders – which in former times were mainly used to transport goods and feed – are expected to gather here over the weekend for the regional “Ice Festival”.
