frozen lake
Natural skating surface
A frozen lake is a lake whose surface has turned to ice, typically during winter months.
The phrase appears in weather reports, outdoor recreation contexts, and metaphorical uses suggesting stillness or suspended animation: We skated across the frozen lake.
Safety concerns often accompany the term—ice thickness determines whether a frozen lake can support weight.
