An inland surfing venue in Bristol has released mesmerising footage showing waves breaking up the ice which formed in extreme conditions at their facility.
Snow and ice have featured prominently over the past week as sub zero temperatures saw schools close and weather warnings issued across the UK.
The Wave surfing lake in Bristol was one of those affected, seeing its water freeze overnight – low temperatures had already seen the weekend’s sessions cancelled.
The venue was uniquely equipped however to break up the surface ice with ease on Friday morning, with staff using the waves to do the job.
The result was not only an effective ice destruction method, but also a mesmerising video as the waves steadily broke through the frozen water.
