frozen lakes
Solid water bodies
Frozen lakes are bodies of freshwater that have iced over, typically during winter months.
The phrase appears in weather reports, winter recreation contexts, and warnings about ice safety: Skating on frozen lakes can be dangerous if the ice is too thin.
Frozen lakes figure in literature and film as settings of isolation, beauty, or peril.
