hokkaido 網走流氷abasiri/floating ice　札幌sapporo

冬の網走に流氷を見に行きました。カナダに居た時は、凍ったナイアガラの滝は何度も見ていましたが、広大な海辺が、海氷に閉ざされる風景を見たのは初めてでした。海産物など、人々の生活が流氷に恩恵を受けているところもあるということを知りました。We went to Abashiri in winter to see drift ice. I had seen the frozen Niagara Falls many times when I was in Canada, but this was the first time I had seen the vast seaside covered in sea ice. I learned that in some places, people's livelihoods, such as seafood, are benefitted from drift ice.
