Russians are incapable of escaping this slippery ice prison
- 5 years ago
An ice park in Russia dug a crater into the ice from which it is nearly impossible to escape.
Video of the attraction, filmed on March 11, shows people trying to escape a so-called ice prison, or ice crater that is extremely slippery and difficult to climb out of, at the Oktem Park around 50 km south of the city of Yakutsk, a port city in Yakutia, east Siberia.
Despite forming human bridges and attempting to push each other out, none of the five people in the crater could escape and kept sliding back into the centre.
In Yakutia, also known as the Sakha Republic, winter outdoor activities usually take place from late February to mid-April as it is reportedly too cold to go outside earlier in the winter.
From the months of November to February, temperatures can range from -30°C to -71°C. However, from the end of February it starts to warm up from -15°С to -45°С by night and -25°C to 0°С during the afternoons.
The "ice prisons" have been part of the park's attractions since 2010, and are made when a pit is dug out on a frozen reservoir or lake.
Usually, few people are able to get out on their own, so when a person gets tired of sliding inside the pit, they ask a nearby employee of the attraction to help them get out.
