Somewhere along the coast of the Black Sea there is a place called Tomis Harbour in Constanta, Romania. Apparently the place is cold. Like really cold. So cold, in fact, that the temperature sometimes drops so low that fairly large areas of the Black Sea itself off of the coast will freeze. The resulting sheets of ice can even support a person’s weight in some areas.
Of course, this is really no big deal - after all, I’m sure we’ve all seen plenty of frozen lakes and ponds (though maybe not frozen seas) - but in Tomis Harbour it sometimes gets so extremely cold that the waves will freeze, partially or completely, while in motion.
The end result of all this is an amazing looking scene that might best be described as looking like a sea of snow or foam, with bright white frothy waves crashing and flowing and even freezing in place.
Now I know what you’re thinking: "Less words; more pics!" So I’ll get right to it. I give you:
The frozen Black Sea of Tomis Harbour, Constanta, Romania.
